As my calendar fills up with wonderful dog events for this Spring and Summer, I decided to devote this week's blog entry to these events, so come out and support these local groups!
April 28th- Valley Falls Saddle Club Ponies and Puppies Clinic
The Saddle Club is hosting a fun day for the kids on Saturday, April 28th starting at 9:30 a.m. This will be a great opportunity for your kids to get outside and learn more about horses and dogs! The Saddle club will provide horses and instructors to teach children about many aspects of horsemanship such as: how to approach a horse, how to lead, groom, feed, saddle, and even ride a horse if they would like to! Camo Cross Dog Training will also be teaching the kids about Dog Safety and will be talking to the kids about the different kinds of activities that they could do with their own dogs! Whether your children have a dog and a horse or they have never even seen a dog or a horse, this is a great learning experience for children of all ages so please come out and support this organization! The amazing part about this clinic is that it is absolutely FREE! What a great way to spend the weekend with your kids without breaking the bank AND educating them about animals! For more information about registering for this event, e-mail me at [email protected]

May 19th/May 20th- Kent and Lori Herbel Herding Clinic hosted by Ashcraft Aussies
The third weekend in May my parents will be holding a herding clinic outside of Mayetta. If you have a herding dog and think you may be interested in getting involved in herding livestock, you can register to audit the clinic for $35 or both days for $50. Kent and Lori travel across the country and Canada putting on clinics teaching people how to herd with their dogs. They have experienced every aspect of the world of herding by being trainers, handlers (trials and everyday ranch work), and trial judges. They use every day analogies to explain the world of herding to anyone from the complete novice to the professional trialer. No matter what your level of ability, you will get great information from this clinic. I know I will be there! For more information on registering for this clinic contact Denny and Donna Ashcraft at [email protected] or call 785.364.7973
May 26th-2nd Annual Saving Death Row Dogs Carnival
This local 501 (c)(3) charity is a state licensed no kill, foster based, dog shelter. It is holding it's annual carnival, fundraiser, and adoption event on Saturday May 26th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Topeka West High School. This a great event with many, many activities to enjoy! There will be Adoption & Education Booths, Prize Drawings, Dunk Tank, Petting Zoo, Giant Toys, Bounce House, and much more! There will also be several area rescues there with dogs that are looking for their forever homes! Even if you already have a furry best friend, come out and get your dog microchipped by Dr. Esau of Companion Animal Clinic (equipment provided by Saving Death Row Dogs) for a low carnival rate of just $21 including registration! Microchipping is a wonderful way to help your dog find its way back home if it ever gets lost or stolen. Collar tags can come off or be removed but microchipping is a permanent means of identification. There are booth sites available for rescues, shelters, and non-profits free of charge and retail space can be reserved for just $20. If you or anyone you know would like to support Saving Death Row Dogs by purchasing booth space, please contact Jessica Little at [email protected] or 785.817.3358 Camo Cross Dog Training will have a booth there answering training questions and handing out information on our training programs, so come out and see us!
