Our All-Breed Dog Show, Rally, and Obedience Trials in March were another great success! Each day started off with a beautiful presentation of the National Anthem by Terri Gierke and daughter Tricia; our local 4-H group, the Muttley Crew, stepped up this year and supported us more than ever; the Kitsap Muttsketeers 4-H group provided a delicious lunch for our judges, members, and volunteers; we had positive feedback about the mats on the Pavilion floors–nothing slipped out of place and the gaffer’s tape didn’t leave residue!; there were no major issues, and all minor things that came up were easily dealt with and remedied; and we’ve taken many notes to make the 2013 show even better!
As with all large events, there are MANY details that go into planning and making the event run smoothly. Most of those details are never noticed by those attending, which is how it should be. We did receive some constructive comments and ideas from exhibitors, our wonderful photographers, our members, our AKC Representative and the Onofrio staff that we plan to take into account for the 2013 show. Some of these changes/additions include, but are by no means limited to:
We are already gearing up for our 2013 show–so if you’d like to get involved, now is the time!
Until then… here are some photos from the 2012 show! There are even more photos on our Facebook page!

(These photos were taken by myself, Sarah Burlingame, during the Group competitions. We had a GREAT showing in Rally and Obedience as well, however I was not able to capture any of those events since I was busy with my Show Chairman duties! Maybe next year…)
PS. Results from the 2012 All Breed Show can be found here for Saturday’s show, and here for Sunday.

Good news!!
There will be mats in the Pavilion for the PDFC 2012 All Breed Dog Show in March!
The Fairgrounds installed gym floors awhile back that prevented us from securing the mats to the floor with duck tape because of possible damage the tape might cause.
A few of our club members did some testing with gaffer’s tape (a strong tape used on film sets that doesn’t leave residue when removed, unlike duck tape) under the supervision of the Fairgrounds staff. And it was a success! The tape held the mats securely and didn’t damage the gym floors or have any affect on the gym floor court lines.
We know that the Pavilion floors have been a cause for concern for many handlers due to the potential slipperiness–and even the court lines themselves! We hope that knowing the floors will be matted at the 2012 dog show will reassure those handlers so that we can all have a great time and another successful event in March!
Please help us spread the word! There will be mats!
