Prairie Canine Academy Dog Show

Many members of the Wascana Club drove out of town this past
weekend to present their dogs at Balgonie's Annual Prairie Canine Academy conformation show. Kennels, chairs, tables, grooming bags, leashes and more were unloaded Thursday night and
throughout the weekend members could be seen primping,
brushing, and blowdrying - the dogs....in the chase for points.
Congratulations to all participants on their showings.

took BISS this past weekend all 7 BOB and a Group IV and

there right now, forgot this is when all the top dogs are out
scrambling for those final points.  Dari is now known as

What an exciting weekend for us at the Prairie Canine Academy
in Balgonie.  Charlie got his Championship in 4 shows!  He won
Best of Winners 4 out of 5 shows. Not bad for a first time handler
and first time in the ring for Charlie.  We are so proud of him. 
He is so special to us!

Kerhaven's All That I Am (Atia) showed for her first time on
Sept 18th in the new Baby Puppy class. Along with her were
three of her littermates. She took BBPIB, her brother Sonny,
took winners male and BOS to her BB. Then she went on to take
BBPIG and finally BBPIS. Here is the pic I had done for BBPIG..
the other has her dad in it but she is sitting in that one..I chose
this because she is in a nice show pose. Though only having been
to one handling class..she posed so like her daddy I was very
proud of her. Handling her while I handled one of her brothers..is
Trudy Taphorn of Tamaron collies. She is of course Kennedy's
(Atia's daddy dog) breeder/owner. Thus I thought for my baby's
first time in the ring..it was fitting that 'grandma' Trudy should
show her. She won't get that many chances to.  By Darlene K.

Summertime 2011

Once the rain left, it was a beautiful summer and members of the Wascana Club were kept busy. They could be found raising puppies, running around the agility course, fetching ducks on the retrieving grounds,
showing their stuff at dog shows, relaxing at the beach or spending their holiday time with their dogs.

 Lazy days of summer?
Not when you have a four legged companion to care for. 
Rowdy was at his happiest when chasing frogs by the water's edge.
He never caught one but he loved to try!

Cdn/Am Ch. Diogenoir Top Trill Thrill (DAX) ,a 7-year-old Pomeranian, found a new home with me this summer.  Since then we have enjoyed many walks on the bike path and attended a few shows.  Dax took BB 17 times out of 18 shows entered plus a Group 2nd and two Group 3rds.  I felt that was pretty good for my little old man – of course, I am a little biased.
Pommerrily yours, Rosie F

It was such a hot day that we stopped in for a coffee at the Snack Shack located just off Highway 11 at the Lumsden turnoff.  Everyone is welcome there!  - Brenda T
