In June 2024 our Homie Patti Sontag was the recipient of The Walter Award. We were honored to be able to present the award to her daughter and granddaughters over the weekend.

You are so missed Patti. 😢

Hi Homies!

We are super excited to be hosting NASDA Invitationals in 2025! We are looking forward to another fabulous celebration at The Canebrake in Wagoner Oklahoma!

We have an amazing venue, but with that venue comes a cost that as a family run club can be hard to swing without the help from friends. There will be quite a few raffles and fundraising events in the upcoming months. Here is the 1st!

50/50 raffle to help cover the expenses of our fabulous venue!

Each number is $20.00, so that is a total of $1,000.00 with $500.00 going to the winner!

Comment your number(s)
And payment can be made via PayPal to
[email protected]
Or via Venmo to
-bowers

(I have other apps if needed)

Once all numbers are sold, the winner will be chosen!!
I will update the board often with available numbers.
Good luck and thank you all!!!

In May 2021 we hosted our first NASDA workshops and trials. I had a local woman enter who entered the trial without ever seeing the game or truly knowing how it was played.

Patti Sontag showed up with her beautiful Groenendael. She had so much fun, and her smile personified joy!

Patti became my biggest supporter and even appeared in the local paper with Rain her Samoyed.

This afternoon while we were out playing with our dogs I learned that Patti lost her life in the tornado this morning.

I am beyond devastated and truly can't believe that she will never approach my start line again.

Here is an update from the folks that are keeping her dogs safe.

"To those who are wondering about Patti’s dogs. They are with us. We have found 5 of the 7. We promised her long ago we would care for her dogs if anything ever happened. Two are still missing and we are headed back to stl with the other 5 to get one Into emergency surgery. We need all the prayers and support possible please. If anyone wants to support financially for the surgery and hospital stay for her Samoyed storm and the needs of the others you can use our Venmo or comment and we can use another method. Patti was a wonderful women who will be so missed. We pray we can continue to love and support her dogs as she did."

Please donate if you are able. Please share far and wide.

Patti will be missed. All the good thoughts are with her loved ones at this time and as they continue this difficult journey without their loved one.

We’ve got a couple truly AMAZING raffle items that we don’t want to limit to just individuals who are able to attend Regionals!

So…we’ve decided to do online raffle ticket sales for the following items:

1. Large fabric art work by Goldie
2. Large PEMF mat for Pets donated by Kathy Etchemendy

Winner will be pulled and announced on the Sunday of Regionals. If not attending, you will need to arrange for someone to pick up for you or pay shipping and handling.

To acquire tickets: send a PayPal to [email protected] and specify which item the tickets are for.

We will write your name in the tickets and toss in the raffle bucket(bag) for that item once we get to Regionals.

Online tickets sales start NOW and go through Thursday, April 18th at noon!

There's short sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops and a youth t-shirt all available in a LARGE array of colors. All proceeds & tips (feel free to add a tip if you'd like to make a larger donation) will go to Mountain Home Dog Sports to help offset the cost of the venue.

This is a great way for anyone who is not going to Regionals to get involved, support the event and support those friends/competitors who are going!
