2 CCA Obedience Trials November 13, A Huge Success!!

Show, Trial & Trail 2 CCA Obedience Trials November 13, 2021 A Huge Success!! The November 13 Trials at the Warner Brook Training Center in Pittsford VT were completely filled and everyone had a great time—including the judge! CCA would like to thank our Judge, William Craig. Kudos to committee members Mie Kingsley, Glenn Williams, Kristie Adams, Annie, Debbie Peretz and Patti Richards for all their work! Patti Richards’ Forever Greene Nahla earned their Rally Excellent Title! Rally, Obedience and Fast Cat are all great ways to strengthen the bond with your Chinook, as well as reinforce good training and good behaviors. Trialing is fun and the only team you have to worry about beating is yours by striving to do better every time! We’ll be publicizing events so stay tuned!

Judge William Craig finds an unusual recipient for the High in Trial and High Combined Ribbons! Inquiring minds want to know if the elk paid his entry fees!

2019: CCA took part in the AKC Museum of the Dog's Exhibition: Mush! A Tribute to Sled Dogs from Arctic Exploration to the Iditarod with dogs and owners meeting and greeting the public. The dogs were great and everyone was very impressed with their wonderful temperaments.
Chinook Stickers, Bookmarks and a picture flyer about the breed were handed out and CCA also provided a slide show about the breed.
These events are a great way to showcase the breed and our Club. Everyone who attended had a great time. If you know an event where we can get together with the public and other Chinook owners, Contact any board member!
