 | Paws in the Park 2006
We had a lovely day at Coolidge Park on October 14, 2006. The Humane Educational Society invited PDX dogs to come and show off their stuff for several thousand people attending the annual Paws in the Park fundraiser. It was a beautiful day, and we all enjoyed showcasing our awesome dogs, chatting with all of the visitors, and generally loitering about the park, which doesn't usually allow dogs. J Synner won the long down contest after some intense distraction work by Mel, Bev, and Kathy eliminated Cris. Caesar won the agility run-off for the mini class after taking on the poodle brigade (Killer, Terror, and Kiba). Cris won the maxi class with a clean run and TV coverage. The Rally demos featured both Nan and Carla working brace with the Aussie girls, Millie and Mattie, and Carla's herding dogs Boo and Stryker. The flyball demos were a big hit, with Full Steam narrowly beating Loco-Motion after just a few end runs while the dogs were figuring out that it's still flyball outdoors on grass. We had a lot of fun and got terrific reviews all around. Please join us on October 13, 2007 for the next installment! [ More Information ] Click on any picture to see a larger version.
