Have you not tried the sport of Earthdog but are curious if you and your dog would love it? 
Have you wanted to try but didn’t know how to get involved?
Are you a seasoned Earth dog aficionado?
Do you need a few volunteer hours?
If you answered “Yes”, to any of the above questions, GCDOC Earthdog Committee wants YOU!  
We would love for you to join our Earthdog Committee!  We are URGENTLY looking for a few members who are available Oct. 29 and 30 to be present at the GCDOC Earthdog Trials in Dayton, Ohio.  If we don’t get a few more members the Trails cannot go on due to AKC requirements.   The work will be a blast and not very physically demanding.  Plus you will learn a lot about the sport and earn volunteer hours!
Please help Earthdog at GCDOC survive and thrive! If you ever considerd Earthdog before, now is the time to do it.  No prior Earthdog experience necessary.
Please email Rachel Corbett at Louie.and.ruth@gmail.com

Contacting the webadmin

If you have something that you need posted to the “group” please be certain of two things:

  1. That it is a standard normal item that we post :
    Requests for volunteer help
    Other items approved by the board
  2. Send the request to webadmin@gcdoc.com or use the contact us webadmin form on the website.
    – emails sent to Chris’s private email often get lost in the shuffle of the overwhelming spam she gets.

Volunteers needed for FAST CAT – 6/24 – 6/26

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

We could use a few helpers with the FAST CAT tests at K9 Splash Zone on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the weekend 06/24, 06/25, 06/26.  Hours are 07-12 and 12- around 4.  We need people to help release dogs (not for the faint of heart), check in dogs (for the most part a sit down job) and help in the catch pen.  Need to stay focused and be able to communicate with exhibitors.   If you are running, we can move your time to a worker slot and if you wish, you can run your dog first thing in the am.  Or, if you want to wait you can run in your slot.  This is a really fun event.  So we hope you can join us. 

Please contact Heidi Farmer at kefyra@hotmail.com

Now is the time to do your Spring cleaning and get rid of all that new and used dog related equipment, show clothes and crafts that is just taking up space.  We have a limited number

of tables that are $5.00 each, so reserve early.  You are more than welcome to bring your own tables, racks and displays.
