Any Plans for Sunday??
Mattaponi Kennel Club is offering 2 Farm Dog Test events on Sunday, November 1, 2020, at Keepstone Farm in Berryville, VA
more info at:http://www.clantyre.net/.../Her.../MKC-BCSA-2020-Premium.pdf
Farm Dog Certified
Open to all breeds of dogs, this test involves your dog performing a series of 12 exercises that are typical for a farm environment such as being in close proximity to livestock (who are always penned to avoid any altercations); jumping and staying on hay/straw bales; walking on unusual terrain; and jumping over logs. There is no herding involved. Instead, the goal is to assess his aptitude as a working farm dog by exhibiting self-control, confidence and trust with you or his handler.

Another local trial coming in October!!!

MKC is in the final steps of moving our October 16-18, 2020 agility trial from the Fredericksburg Fieldhouse to Walnut Hill Farm in Reva, VA. We moved the opening of the show to August 25th (this is to give us time to put the premium together and make sure it reflects all of the changes). It will close on October 6th in case our Governor needs to make changes in the types or numbers of gatherings due to the novel coronavirus (aka COVID 19). Changes prior to closing allow us to issue full refunds should we need to cancel. We are adding Friday as an Excellent/Masters only day that will include STD, JWW, FAST and both Premiers. Hope you will join us.

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that our June 2020 will not go on as we had planned. Our trial committee put in an super effort to plan for a fun weekend of dog agility. With the current situation in Virginia in regards to Covid19, we do not feel we can offer the trial in a safe environment for everyone.

You will receive a 100% refund of your entry fees. If you wrote a check, those checks will be shredded. If you entered through AKC online entry system, you will be issued a refund to your credit card used to pay your entry fee. If you used MKC vouchers for part of your entries, you will receive an email from GoneDoggin’ which states the amount that you sent in. Please print the email and use this toward a future entry.

Hug your pups and stay safe until we meet again. Please keep us in mind for future trials.

Sincerely,

Janet Kolakoski

With deep regret,It has come to the time to cancel the 2020 Dogwood Cluster (TKC & MKC). Because of the fall out from the Covid-19 and the remain in place,we feel it is irresponsible to proceed. Stay safe,stay well and plan to join us in 2021!

Mattaponi Kennel Club may not use the agility yards at Prince William County Fairgrounds until the VA Governor lifts the restrictions on the use of recreation and entertainment businesses as part of the plan for reducing the COVID-19 curve in Virginia.
