Yes I am, I've been a member since its inception, I am also an office bearer of the club. If you are a member, what kinds of activities take place that you are involved in? I go to all club functions, we hold a champ show, an open show, an obedience trial, a field training/fun day and a winter walk If you are not a member, why not? N/A What kinds of activities would you like to see more of in your local breed club? I am happy with the activities offered. Is your breed club involved in Breed rescue? Yes, the club will investigate if a Gordon is reported to be in a pound or shelter, normally the breeder is found and contacted and takes the dog back.

MissMonaro Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Are you a member of your local breed club (if there is one)? Yes If you are a member, what kinds of activities take place that you are involved in? Dog showing. Have done a breed meet and greet with a couple of my dogs at a local pet shop and sold raffle tickets there for the club as well. If you are not a member, why not? N/A What kinds of activities would you like to see more of in your local breed club? We used to have a FUN day where Labrador owners could come along and play some games with their dogs - musical mats, fancy dress, simon says, 3 legged races, fastest eater etc. You could win prizes. We had demos of obedience, agility, flyball, drug detection, retrieving etc...and apart from the drug work, we encouraged ppl to have a go with their dogs. We always took along a few dogs and always chatted to the public and it is how I met one of my closest friends. Unfortunately we don't seem to hold them anymore - which is such a shame as we always had a good turn out. Is your breed club involved in Breed rescue? Yes they are.

ravenau1 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have to admit it's not something I've ever thought about before! I just had a look at the website and it looks like they do Obedience, Agility and Show classes. I am interested in Agility so probably would attend for that but they meet on a weeknight which is no good for me. But that's my fault, not theirs.
