Wow! where has the year gone? There is so much to talk about!

First, let's give a big round of applause to all of the hard-working dog/handler teams this year. So many accomplishments and hat's off to all of you. A huge congratulations to Florance Goldsworthy and Razzie who earned their MACH2 in November at the Poodle Club trial. What a fabulous team they are! To end the year, Kelly Keele and his partner Ish earned their MACH on December 5th. As if that were not enough, his wife Lori and her partner Lola earned their MACH the next day! We appreciate their dedication to attending our trials and hope they continue to make the long trek to Las Vegas for many years to come. We love having them here! It was wonderful to see Karen and Stanley run at the AKC Agility Invitational in Long Beach. Jennifer and Abby were also there and had great runs. She may live in NY, but she's still a "Vegas Girl".

Now, for 2010...

There will be a lot going on this year so stay tuned. There are many members with green pups, so it will be exciting to see them excel in their newfound performance careers. We also look forward to watching those of you who are approaching big milestones in agility, with just a few double Q's and points to go. We also have lots of local interest in tracking. If you are interested, please contact us and we will point you in the right direction. 

We have four agility trials left this Winter/Spring season; CPE in January, AKC in February and April, and NADAC in March. Visit the Doggy Doin's page for the CPE premium. There's still time to enter! AKC and NADAC premiums will be up soon. Don't be surprised if another CPE trial pops up in the Spring or Summer too, if we can sweet talk Tom into being Trial Chair again.

We've also heard the huge buzz about UKI, and we are sure to discuss this new venue in our January meeting. Please attend the meetings if you want your voice heard! Your contributions are vital to keeping agility alive in Southern Nevada. Not only is it a team sport with dog/handler, it's also a team sport with all of us working together to keep our trials successful.

With that, we wish you all a happy, healthy holiday season.

Cheers!
