AGILITY FUN DAY!

Moore County Kennel Club Members know how to have fun! And our “FUN COMMITTEE,” led by Carol Dowd Kamalbake and ably supported by committee members Naomi Johnson, Brenda Lewis, Lynn Cox and Andrea Gumrich (we missed you Mary Wood – but know you didn’t miss us from Italy).

The event could not have happened without the generosity of time, effort and location of Jane Hammett Bright. When Jane wasn’t showing puppy people how to introduce an obstacle, she was running to help others on a more advanced level. Oh, and she also provided BBQ for all.

Ursula Walsh was on hand with her Agility Expertise as well.

Thank You Mary Wood & Remy!

The Berger Picard is a member of the Herding Group. They were recognized by AKC in 2015. Remy is a very social girl, as can be seen from the photos. But they are also extremely loyal to their owners. Remy will play any game Mary wants, but she excels at Therapy work. She is an active exhibitor at the Moore County Pet Responsibility Committee’s visits to the schools.
