From the AKC delegate's report to the Briard Club membership:

"After 2025, Purina Farms will no longer support herding activities. The AKC encourages herding clubs to try to get them to reconsider, as their support has been crucial. This would be a huge loss."

Please work with your breed and herding clubs to see if we can affect this decision by Purina.

I am always a little reticent to promote PNWHC's Holiday Greenery Fundraiser before Halloween, but the truth is Lynch Creek Farm has some amazing Fall and Thanksgiving arrangements as well as Winter and Christmas wreaths, garlands, and Tabletop Trees.

Lynch Creek Farm handcrafts beautiful, holiday greenery with fresh noble fir, juniper berries, incense cedar, variegated holly, salal, and ponderosa pine cones. Their sustainable practice of trimming branches for their boughs, without cutting down trees, helps protect local forests and their fragile ecosystems. The farm is located just a few miles from where PNWHC holds it’s herding events so it’s kind of like buying local too!

Bring some cheer to your home this fall and winter and support Herding Events, Tests and Trials by shopping at the link below.
www.lynchcreekfundraising.com/c/299834. Please be sure to use this link so that PNWHC receives credit for the sales. If you have already purchased from Lynch Creek and did not do so from our page, if you let me know that you intended to support PNWHC, I can contact Lynch Creek and they will credit us.

Thanks in advance for your support,
