President’s Message
“
I
hope this latest edition of Dog World finds you and your families well.
The Ekka The year has been marching on and we are on the cusp of the Ekka and a wonderful line up of Specialty Breed Shows happening. And that is pretty exciting after the Ekka not happening due to Covid the last few years. And yes, there is another wave happening but hopefully we are all taking full advantage of the vaccination regime and having our second boosters. I am thrilled with the great location of the Dogs Queensland stall near the rings and seating area. We will be high tech this year with large screens happening with excellent Dogs Australia videos about our dog breeds and dog sports on a loop supported by volunteers on the stand. A big thank you to Michael Yates in the office for making this all happen. Being a Dogs Queensland volunteer on the stand is a great opportunity to talk to the public and friends about what we are all about and the wonderful doors that open with our many disciplines when you acquire a purebred dog from one of our ANKC breeders or start competing with a crossbred dog in most of our dog sports. There are still spots available in the roster so do contact the office if you are interested in making this important contribution. As a volunteer you receive a pass to access the grounds for your shift as well as a meal pass and the pleasure of the vibe in the dog area. I am looking forward to doing announcing next week. You will see details below about our super Dogs Queensland showbags. It took a bit of negotiation with Mr Harrison, but if you take on and complete a second shift you will receive a complimentary Dogs Queensland showbag too!
The Super Dogs Queensland Showbags I know detail about our showbags has already appeared in a Paw Prints but thought I would set out their super content here. A big thank you to Barb Cumming in the office for her great work in making this bag happen. Our breeders would
