Hello Fellow PKC Members!

I hope everyone made it through the storms in June with no damage.

What a bumpy ride this weather has been!

We are getting numbers in for the 2017 Northeast Wisconsin Dog Show

Classic. Looks like another great year for the Club with a profit over

$13,000! Way to go everyone involved!

As stated previously, the all breed dog show is our largest revenue

source for the year. I am asking again for someone to please step up to

be the 2018 show chair for the all breed show. We have until November

8, 2017, to submit our application and judging panel to AKC. That does

not give us much time as most judges are already accepting assign-

ments for 2018 and the longer we wait, the less likely we will be able to

get the judges we want. Please don't hesitate to talk to any board mem-

ber if you have a question or are interested. We will help in any way that

we can.

On a happier note, we stopped in at the PKC Agility Trial the weekend of

June 2-4. What a great group of people and a wonderful team effort

putting this event on! We were there meeting friends who were exhibi-

tors from Michigan and they and all the exhibitors set up around them

agreed it is one of the nicest venues and well run trials they attend all

year. So kudos to the PKC Agility Trial Team for a job well done!

Safe travels and I hope everyone has a winning July!

Richard

The PKC Outreach group was asked to visit with the students at De Pere High School during

their finals. Thank you so very much to the following Club members and their dogs that visited

with the students over two days during morning and afternoon sessions.

Sue Ruesch and Golden “Skyy”

Betty Haevers and Papillon “Maddi”

David Ness and Golden “Libby”

Candee Brey and Doberman “Lexx”

Wendee Draves and Am Water Spaniel “Tucker”

Cheryl Sulewski and Collie “Satin”

Julie Daul and Berner “Uno”

Pat Ankeney and Poodle Mix “Lily”

Rita VanDenHeuvel and Lab “Mitch”

Upcoming Outreach Programs

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 ~ 8-11 a.m.

This is an outdoor program (no fencing) for two summer school classes in Pulaski. We will be

doing some obedience and agility demos and talk to the children about dog safety and ap-

proaching dogs. If you are able to help for this program, please contact Ronda and she will

get back to you with the event details.

Farm Tech Days - July 11, 12 & 13 - Two Shifts each day ~ 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 12:30-4 p.m.

I am still in need of help for this big event!!!! I am looking for a minimum of two Club members

and their dogs to sit at a booth during these three days. We have been scheduled to do a

demo each day from 10:30-11:30 am. This is a big event (expected attendance is 45,000

people) and a wonderful opportunity to publicize the Club in a very positive way.

Please remember that you need to be a PKC member and your dog needs to be very friend-

ly with people and other dogs and tolerate loud noises. You also need to have a copy of

your dog’s current rabies vaccination certificate on file with the Outreach Committee.

If you have any questions or can help out with any of the upcoming outreach events, please

contact Outreach Coordinator, Ronda Bermke at bermke@centurytel.net.

AKC Trick Dog Testing @ PKC

On May 31, 2017, Packerland Kennel Club offered testing for the new AKC Trick Dog titles and what a great showing we had!

Twenty-seven dogs were awarded 43 new trick dog titles ~ 27 new Novice titles (TKN), 10 new Intermediate titles (TKI) and 6 Advanced titles (TKA). Congratulations to all the mem-bers and non-members that participated in this fun new AKC sport! There were certainly lots of smiles and laughs heard through the PKC building that evening.

Thank you to evaluators Cheryl Sulewski, Rita VanDenHeuvel and Ronda Bermke for testing all those dogs and to Pat Ankeney and Wendee Draves for keeping all the paperwork in or-der. Candee Brey and Bree Draves kept the evening moving right along helping those testing move from station to station if needed.

Beginner Obedience News We had a small but super group of students and dogs in the latest Beginners Obedience class. My thanks to Tammie Scheich for judging, and to June Ashford, JoLynne Stewart and Israel Rivera for helping teach the class. Congratulations to the following teams on your success:

Luann Glielmo & Samoyed “Manny” Trish Evans & Border Collie “Tess”

Joe Wesoloski & Black Lab “Justice” Tiana Egnarski & Border Collie “Linus”

My thanks to these teams for making this a fun class to work with! Ellen Kramer Beginners Instructor

Spring Trial Update

The Spring Agility Trial was a great success. We had over 600 runs during the 3

days. Everyone I spoke with had fun and said they love to come to our trials.

I wish to thank all the volunteers that worked moving equipment, laying the

flooring, working at the trial, helping coordinate the trial and anything else

that you may have done. If it wasn’t for the hard work of volunteers we would

not be able to conduct our Agility Trial. You are truly appreciated!

Keith Rosin ~ Spring Agility Trial Chair
