We will be holding conformation run throughs again this fall! CCC’s UKC trial is coming up on November 8-9, so please join Bonita Fichtenbaum, Cherie Treber, Heidi Farmer, and Leah Schiller to brush up your skills. Run throughs will be on the Wednesday evenings below at 7pm; all you need is $5 and a waiver (unless we already have one on file for you). Hope to see you there!

Volunteers Needed – August Barn Hunt!
Its the time again for Barn Hunt Trials and we are looking for volunteers!
August 23 & 24
We are holding the barn hunt trials at our normal Land location. They are being run as part of the Chompaluau event. Chompaluau is a joint event with barn hunt and updog – by Southern Ohio Flying k9s. (Flyingk9s.org)
Please come volunteer with this fun group and help us make barn hunt successful.
Never volunteered before? New to the sport? All are welcome and we’re happy to help you learn what to do! Volunteering is a great way to learn a lot about the sport!
Gem City Merch
Hello, dog club friends!
The new catalog for Gem City merch is up and running! Please check it out – just in time for session 4! Things to know….
1) If there is something you’d like to see added to the catalog, please let me know! We found a wonderful new company that has lots of cool things.
2) IMPORTANT—->you get to choose the logo type for your item, and the price you see on the item does NOT include the logo. You need to click on the logo tab and add that part to your order. Jackets, coats, zip up hoodies for sure will have the embroidered logo, but tshirts, joggers, etc. would probably be better with just the printed logo. At any rate, be sure to add your logo type to your order!
3) Like before, I’ll be happy to pick things up and bring them to the club as orders are completed – just let me know!
Enjoy browsing the catalog! CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE LINK!

Agility Room Re-opened!
Many thanks to all who helped including Cinci Stowell, Mary Holland, Alicia Heidorn, and Rick and Kathy Roberts, and most of all Ron Seiter who managed the turf maintenance.
The turf room is now open. And the turf maintenance complete. The team from SW Turf greens of Ohio dug up old rubber in-fil, worked on getting the fibers up and added new crumb rubber for support and fil. As I understand it, there is agility equipment up and those interested and available may practice as usual.
Class Registration OPEN for session 4, 2025
Class registration for Puppy, Puppy Grad, Beginner Obedience, and Advanced Beginner Obedience is now open to everyone.
All other classes will open tomorrow (and we won’t be sending out another email about it)!

Turf Room Maintenance – Building Closed NOTICE!
Beginning Monday 7/14, turf maintenance is planned. This involves dust and fumes. So for safety the building will be closed during daytime hours.
We are preparing to complete maintenance on the turf. 2 pallets of supplies were delivered today. Due to their size and weight, they were placed in ring 2 (just inside the exit doors). A group will be in tonight to move the contents to the turf room on Friday 7-11. I suggest you not plan to train this evening.
Once the work is completed, we will open things up again.
Sorry for the late notice. A lot of pieces needed to come together to make this happen.

Building Closed – July 14 & 21, 2025
The front obedience rings will be closed for practice on Monday, July 14, and Monday, July 21 from 5:30-6:30pm.
Conformation Run-thrus
There will be two more conformation run throughs on Wednesday, June 25 and Wednesday, July 2 at 7:30pm. Just $5 and a signed waiver! Come and get ready to show your pup at the UKC trial in July!
