Looking forward to meeting and working with Christie!!
Barb that's AWESOME! I'm getting excited to go.
Alysa and Dave (Camp Directors) just emailed me and asked me to teach tracking also. So that makes tracking, agility and K9 Nosework.......and lions, and tigers and bears, Oh my! LOL. It makes things go by very quickly! That's for sure. You're gonna love it. So many of the people that attend come back to each Camp and it just becomes a very family like experience!

Tell us about yourself: Rescued our first DS male on Dec 27, 2011. Approx 4 yrs. Rescued from NADSR. His name is Odin. Adopted a 2nd DS from NADSR June 27, 2012. Kai - 6 months.
Location: Fishkill, NY

We are very excited!! Tracking - awesome!! Between the agility, tracking and dock diving, Odin is going to come home one athletic star. Cannot wait for you to meet him and show us what he really has and can do!!

Spoke to Alyssa last week (extremely nice). Had some general questions and she too put me at ease about Dakota.

Odin has a very controlled calm personality. Nothing and I mean nothing startles or bothers this boy or gets him spun up. Perhaps he was some sort of working dog. Whom ever had him previously did some major OB work with him and desensitized him to many many things (except kitties :x )

The only thing I am dreading is the long, long drive :eew:

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

I am soo jealous----of both the trip, and the pup!
Gotta stay home and care for the other animals, and another pup is out of the question until this beast of mine is older.
I'll just have to suffer through all the fun photos.

They have a very low tech one of these near me. It is a campground for people and their dogs and they have agility, a swimming pond, various visitors to teach CGC, Rally, massage etc. It is open all summer and has different things going every weekend. Maybe, we could have a southern style Dog Camp!

That looks really neat! I wonder if they allow people to have course time without the instructor? I think that could be a ton of fun. Also wonder if they allow tent campers. It wouldn't be very expensive though.

My problem would be that if I stayed in NC at a dog friendly camp, some of my friends that own the hairy herders (GSDs) and silly blond cousins would want to come too! LOL.

Apparently not. Too bad. Then again, I hate camping anywhere near RVs, with their noisy generators :mrgreen:

Yes, I think that you can use any of the equipment. There are two agility rings, one for playing around and one a AKC regulation ring. 7 dog parks, walking trail and my favorite part::: it is less than a mile from where i take herding lessons!!

I bet we could have Possom Hollow set up herding and herding temperment tests for all of us!

bring on the shaggies and the blonds! We could make it a all shepherd weekend. :player: What do you think?
