No matter your dog's age or skill, there's a class for you. Join us for a session or become a member. Cyclone Country Kennel Club (CCKC) was established to provide classes and services that uphold the standards of quality maintained by the American Kennel Club. Since the 1960s, CCKC has provided the Ames area with the invaluable Super Puppy class, as well as classes in more advanced obedience and

conformation. In addition, the club annually hosts an agility trial, an all-breed and obedience show, a fun match, a hunting-dog seminar and a tattoo and identification clinic. Public service activities include visits to nursing homes, hospitals and schools, as well as public demonstrations about dog health, training and breed information.

G'bye for now, HASLC! And a BIG Thank You! to our judge Rick Mullen, our trial secretary Carolyn Venaglia, ALL the competitors, and the stellar volunteers - club members, competitors, and dragooned relations - for a thoroughly fun 3 days of running, jumping, climbing, and weaving. See y'all next year!

We wrapped up last week at the Iowa State University Library with more wonderful Cyclone Country Kennel Club volunteers helping students take a study break ahead of finals week, and the students were so appreciative! This event is one of the many outreach opportunities for dogs and handlers who earn their Canine Good Citizen, ARL TheraPets, or Therapy Dog International certifications. Pictured from Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are Nadine Beckwith-Olson’s Dude, Maggie Hamilton’s Sissy, Michelle & Don Finch’s Cole & Jett, Elisabeth and Steven Lonergan’s Ted, Mark Boeck's Billy, and Contasha and Christi Patterson’s poodle crew of Ophelia, Tiberius, Romeo, and Nyxander. The students enjoyed meeting the dogs, visiting with the owners to learn more about the training the dogs do, and many have said they look forward to having the dogs visit each semester!

Pictured from Monday and Tuesday are Michelle & Don Finch’s Cole & Jett, Elisabeth and Steven Lonergan’s Ted, Maggie Hamilton’s Cy, Sara Moeller's Izzy, and John Anderson’s Tessa.

Prep week for the Veterinary students at ISU is over. These boys spent some time with them providing stress relief as they prepared for exams. Ben (Mon-Thurs) and Irie (Tues and Thurs) had a great time with the students. They got lots a scritches and even performed a few tricks. We all wish them well on their exams. The boys also sent them with some good luck fur stuck to their clothes.
