Just wondering--normally registration is an hour before the comp, so are we starting at 10am or is reg. from 10-11?

Changed the time to allow prep before comp.

Okay--sounds good!

So, what happened? I thought the police dogs got our spot.

Terry, the K9 unit will be at Lagoon Park & we will be at Holzer field, just a mile or so away.

Great idea with the time, Mickey.

Thanks JW!

fyi...there is a pretty big parade during Heimatfest and it usually starts at 11am in downtown Jordan...almost the whole town watches this parade normally...you may want to move the start time to noon or 1pm and advertise downtown during the parade to maybe get people out to Holzer Field to watch the comp since it is on the opposite side of town as most of the Heimatfest festivities in Lagoon park

What about being part of the parade?

Working with Tim about times & will check the parade idea Paul....good one.

If you're going to be competing then my recommendation is to not be in the parade. Dogs and handlers not competing can for all I care.

Why not? It's just walking. Yes, but it's also the summer. And any heat that your dog soaks up will exhaust him or her more than you actually think. Then there's the issue of what they'd be walking on. If it's just asphault or concrete that will be really warm and will be another thing to where your dog out.

Let's start signing up for helpers for this comp. Let me know what you can volunteer for & I will adjust the 1st post.

I can help with whatever is needed.

I can judge Freestyle and TC.
