NADAC Trial info & Line up for the 2024-2025 season…….

We have a change to our 1st trial of the season. In the past it was held at the middle/end of Oct. at night at the Patch. This year it has been moved to Nov. 2nd & 3rd and will be held at Sahuaro Ranch Park during the day. Premium is available on both the NADAC & JCAC website. There is still room so, get those entries in.

Last year our Thanksgiving weekend trial was one of the largest NADAC trials in the last 15 years with 1809 runs. We will be back at WestWorld arena 5A this year for 3 full days of agility fun along will all kinds of other side fun. As a thank you to everyone who has supported JCAC NADAC Trials we will be giving away a free entry. If we so happen to beat last year’s run total of 1809 we will give away a 2nd free entry. The way it will work is, for every run you enter your dog(s) your name will go into the drawing (example: if my dog is entered in 15 runs over the weekend my name is put in 15 times). Drawing will be held at the trial.

Hi folks

Typically, at this time of the year, we hold a practice at the patch for anyone from Arizona who is going up to champs. Is anyone interested in doing that on Tuesday, September 17? We could set up the finals course from last year‘s champs that was out in the East Coast or one of the other courses. Anyone from Arizona who’s going to champs is welcome to come. We charge five dollars a dog to help cover the cost of the lights

Let me know. We probably start around 6:30. And everyone should probably get two runs in.

Hello JCAC Members!

Jumping Chollas is moving in a new direction for the 2024-2025 agility year: Committees!

We are offering club members a way to get more involved with the responsibilities of running a club the size of Jumping Chollas. We have six committee opportunities at this time:
Patch Property Maintenance Committee
Patch Equipment/Trailer Maintenance Committee
Student Equipment Committee
Patch Rental Committee
News & Education Committee
Holiday Party & Year-end Awards Committee

Each Committee will have a "Lead" position with the following responsibilities:
Report directly to President
Organize duties assignments with members
Oversee committee duties are being completed
Recruit new committee members as needed

Members will be signing up for a committee, rather than a specific duty within the committee. Duty assignments will be decided as a group by the Committee Lead and Committee Members. Committee Lead can be a volunteer from the list of members that sign up for that committee. JCAC President will assign a Committee Lead if there is no volunteer.

Each committee has a Member Count, which is an estimated number of members needed to complete the duties for that committee. Committees can decide if more members are needed to accomplish the duties within that committee.

Blank yellow rows under "Member count" are available for member sign-up. Please use the link below to sign-up for a committee that interests you:

Greetings all!
There is still some room left in the Weavers mini-trial being held July 17th at the Patch. You get two runs. Wonderful, supportive environment...especially for those in Novice and Intro just starting out!
You can find the premium at https://www.jumpingchollas.com/trials-events
Come join us! Entries close July 10th!

There will be a CGC and CGCA test on Saturday, April 27 beginning at 8:00 am at the Patch. There will also be testing for the Tricks Title on the same day, so if you are interested in participating and taking the tests, please contact Amy Ballen at 480-570-7045 or Ruth DeMar at 602-909-2513 to sign up!!

Test forms for the CGC tests will be provided, but you will need to bring forms for the Trick Testing with you and they are located on the AKC website.

$10.00 for the first test, $5.00 for subsequent ones.

Always something going on with our dogs!

I don't think any other class is having as much fun as the Juniors Handlers! It is so amazing to watch them grow and continue to bond deeper with their dogs out on the Agility field! Session 4 here they come 💪💪🐾🐾🐶

03/18/2024

Day 3, bright and sunny and lots of agility runs. We find Liz in her Irish Green with her black and white pup, Ricco standing by. Sue Boe is hard at work as Show Secretary.

Day 2 of the Jumping Chollas trial, and we find "The Gathering" of agility handlers getting the briefing of the day from Jared Gibson.

Friday weather was brutal with rain, wind and cold, and while the dogs liked it, the humans not so much.

Saturday was bright and sunny and all went well, thanks to the many volunteers that helped to make the trial run smoothly. Thank you!

03/07/2024

What a beautiful sky to train with!

A reminder that Jumping Chollas has their monthly meeting on Sunday, March 10, 6:00 pm at the Patch.

See you there.

Thank you Linda Jacobs! Linda was presented with the "Above and Beyond" award for her continued support and commitment to the Jumping Chollas Agility Club, going the extra mile to see that everything was done and done well! Her work was behind the scenes and most members didn't even know about it, but those things kept the club working smoothly. Great job Linda....

Here are a few pictures from the JCAC Open House with more still to come.

02/26/2024

A HIGH FIVE to all of those who attended the JCAC Open House today! We welcomed about 60 people who came , stayed, visited, had some lunch and dessert and enjoyed the weather as well as the people. I was very nervous that we would not have a good turnout, but so many thanks to those who did, including a woman who was in the original group in 1993, and a woman who cried because she was able to see friends from 30 years ago and be a part of the group.

You are a wonderful group of people and your attendance was more than appreciated! Now on to the next set of years!

Pictures will follow tomorrow!!

Alice Nicholson
President, Jumping Chollas

02/25/2024

Don't forget tomorrow is Open House at the Patch. 1:00 - 4:00.

Congratulations to Lisa Welchert as a recipient of the Jumping Chollas President's Award for 2023-2024. Thank you for your devotion to the club and all the time you give.
