Volunteers Needed!

Posted on by Angela Profitt

We are still looking for some volunteers to help with the Crossroads UKC Conformation Shows and Rally Trials this weekend!

You may be asking yourself why we are looking for volunteers for another club’s event. When Crossroads rents our building, they also rent our members! You will get hours towards your required Gem City hours for membership!

Why should you help? Firstly, it’s fun! You get to see all types of beautiful and uncommon breeds! Did you know that we had a Bedlington Terrier at our November shows? Such a cool breed to see in person! Secondly, this is a big show! Having these big shows helps Crossroads be able to hold the smaller shows that you enjoy!

Do you need to know anything about conformation? Nope! The judges will give you instructions on exactly what they need you to do. Or you can be in charge of helping us set up lunch or other duties around the building that day.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Angela at [email protected]. Thank you!

July 8th, 3pm-6pm @ the GCDOC Land location

542 Valleycrest Dr
Dayton, OH 45404


The Huehn family, Jessa Kenworthy and Brittany Clark are putting together a gathering in remembrance of Ashley Huehn at the Land belonging to Gem City Dog Obedience Club. This is a low-key open house style event (that is invite only) for all Gem City members to remember our dearly departed friend, as the Huehn family will provide a life reflection event at a later time.
It is pot luck, as well as bring your own chair.
Should you feel appropriate, please write letters to Ashley, which will be burned at a later time.
So bring your chairs, yourselves, your dogs if you like, and join us for a time of fellowship while remembering and honoring a person who shaped so many of us.
