Woops missed forwarding this lovely post from Kristie Rasmussen about our show to the club page. Mea culpa.
Michelle

As Show Chairperson for the Great Salt Lake Dog Training Club, I want to thank everyone for their help this past weekend at our obedience and rally trials. What a great village of helpers including stewards (some first timers that did awesome), trophy, hospitality, helpers with the raffle and auction, people that came to help with set-up on Thursday and take-down on Sunday, the Show secretary and assistant Show secretary, volunteers who stepped in to help steward at the last minute, the judges, and all the people who donated items for the raffle and auction. Most of all, I want to thank all the exhibitors that came to show their dogs. This is all about you and your dog(s). Many titles were won along with a RACH, a UDX, and two perfect scores of 200. Just wanted to let you all know that YOU ROCK!

The first GSLDTC tracking class taught by Dan Wheeler was held Saturday, November 25th at Lake Point on BLM land. It was a cold and snowy day, but handlers and their dogs had a great time. Hoping to get them ready for our May's Tracking Test.

From AKC regarding the canine respiratory virus going around.

American Kennel Club
Precautions Regarding Canine Upper Respiratory Illness

There are a lot of unknowns about this newest canine illness. We should all do our best to work to avoid the spread of this disease by following these basic recommendations:

Keep your dog up to date on vaccines including but not limited to Bordetella, Parainfluenza, and Canine Influenza, and avoid direct contact with other dogs.
If your dog has been exposed to a dog with an upper respiratory illness, but is showing no symptoms, it is recommended you quarantine your dog for a minimum of 2 weeks. Do not take it to any areas where other dogs will be.
If your dog has been exposed to a dog with an upper respiratory illness, and is showing symptoms, it is recommended you quarantine your dog for a minimum of 4 weeks after all symptoms have passed. Do not take it to any areas where other dogs will be.
Absolutely do not take your dog to any events if it is showing any signs of respiratory illness such as coughing, sneezing, wheezing, any nasal discharge, lack of energy, or difficulty breathing.
Avoid sharing water and food bowls among dogs. Dog bowls should be washed regularly.
Regularly wash or sanitize your hands, especially after handling dogs.
While judging guidelines recommend that judges ask the exhibitor to display the oral exam, during this time and out of an abundance of caution, judges are expected to have the exhibitor display the oral exam and may personally examine the mouth ONLY if absolutely necessary. Where applicable, judges must conduct thumb exams.

If necessary to personally examine the mouth, the judge MUST sanitize their hands after examining the dog, and as a general practice, are strongly encouraged to sanitize their hands after examining each entry. Re-examining of dogs should be minimized.

Clubs hosting conformation events should provide hand sanitizer/wipes for judges and stewards to use between dogs. Equipment used to measure and/or weigh dogs should be sanitized before and after each use.

Responsible actions by exhibitors, judges, and clubs are necessary to minimize any risks to our dogs. We thank everyone for their thoughtful cooperation and diligence in taking these extra measures.

Another scent work trial done and in the books. I did not photo any of the teams, so please add your photos in the comments. We had lots of new titles, huge classes of Novice and Advanced. And the first class of Detective. What a success. Here are some photos of the newly remodeled main entry room. So cool in black light.

But first let me say an enormous thank you to the committee, our secretary, our judges, Patrice and Laurie, and all of the folks that volunteered to steward. Takes a village. And last but not least thank you to all the teams that.came and played with us.

Thank you to Nightmare on 13th. This is such a fun place to find scent.

Another PSA. We were asked to post this here so everyone will know and can watch out for their dogs. The article isn't too long and the pictures might be important. To see.
