WCFO supports and encourages all our juniors to train and dance with their dogs. Our founder Patie Ventre was always a big supporter of the kids and dogs. So WCFO created a monetary scholarship that is awarded 4 times a year. Any junior is encouraged to contact WCFO for more information.

WCFO would like to congratulate our 1st Junior Scholarship winner
Renee Raschio from Arlington Texas.

This young lady loves training and showing her dogs in freestyle, rally and agility. And she earned many of her titles through our video competitions as there are not many live competitions near her home.

So please join me and congratulating Renee. .

Anna Schloff, CEO
WCFO President.

Some of you have asked if the workshops will all be the same training. The answer to that each workshop will address a different topic. Attila will be sending those subjects in the next week or so.

If you are planning on camping there is one electric left.
I have Gloria Voss and Renee Raschio down for the other two. There will be plenty of space to camp for those that do not need electric.

Please we will be happy to answer any other questions .

Thanks Anna

WCFO and I would like to thank Gigi Jones and her club Dancers with Woofs for hosting their WCFO titling event Spring Fling in Wisconsin last weekend. Sounds like everyone had a good time showing their off their dance routines with their dogs to Judge Jody Cook. Thank you to our Judge Jody Cook who volunteered her time to come and judge all the awesome routines and we look forward to seeing her judging in Michigan.
Our WCFO clubs and judges are very important to WCFO and its competitors and we appreciate y
I know there were some hurdles to make this show happen. But Dancers with Woofs pushed through to make this show happen. Especially since they are a small group that has had some health issues with many of their members. I cannot wait to receive the results.
We appreciate our clubs and competitors for supporting WCFO after all what is more fun than dancing with our dogs.
