Junior Handling Classes

Once again, our most important job is to share our love of showing dogs with another generation.  Junior classes will start this Thursday (June 4th) and we need helpful mentors, trained and experienced show dogs and refreshments. Don't neglect this wonderful opportunity to share your knowledge, your breed, and your passion to show the best that you can produce as a breeder.  Classes are on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. at Companion Dog School.  Be there!!!
