We are looking forward to hosting our fall Obedience and Rally trials this Saturday and Sunday at Ultimutt Knoxville.

Early crating/setup for exhibitors will be allowed on Friday, November 8, beginning at 5:00pm ET (not before as this is a daycare facility), and ending at 7:00pm ET.

Ring rental will also be available on Friday evening for practice purposes between 5:00pm - 7:00pm ET at a cost of $10/10 minutes. Pay when you arrive and sign up, not in advance, and no treats in the ring please.

Let's have a great weekend with our dogs! We hope to see you there!

During the Amvets / ORKC fund raiser event today this precious little friend came to meet the breeds and was the icing on her cupcake costume. Blessed to be amongst friends! The Auxiliary raises money for many charities including the K9’s for the police force.
