Just a note to “save the date.” On Thursday January 17th, following the TAO group show at the Rose City Cluster, we’ll be inviting our sweepstakes judge Sharon Fitzgerald (Sherwood, Oregon) and our regular class judge Jerry Howse (Berryville, Virginia), to a no-host dinner at Elmer’s in Delta Park, at 6:00 p.m. We’ll send a reminder/RSVP notice out to members as the date gets closer, and personally invite exhibitors who might like to join us. We will invite our judges to share their impressions and we can all enjoy an evening of camaraderie before the Rose City weekend gets crazy.
We’ve just received notice from the AKC that Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club has successfully completed the Plan A match program and may now apply for licensed status. Congratulations to every member for your work on these matches, and thank you to every exhibitor who helped us make these matches a success!
Useful and important information particularly with respect to specific applications of various AKC rules and regulations.
No, the calendar isn’t old - it’s the Cairns! For our A/OA match we are offering a very special raffle - a beautiful handmade calendar honoring geriatric Cairns. Most of the images are local Cairns belonging to CRCTC members - but all of the Cairns are venerable companions and Cairns of distinction in their own right. Any Cairn lover would be touched by these artful hand-made calendar pages bearing the likeness of dogs who have themselves been touched with tincture of time.
Tickets are five dollars each and can be obtained from . The drawing will take place during our A/OA match on October 14th and you need not be present to win.
Update: Congratulations to raffle winner Vicky Montgomery!
