Booster Update,
The CISC is very pleased to annouce that its been confirmed that the Swedish Judge at the four day events, "Annika Ulltveit-Moe" has been to Iceland as a judge, and Monika K says that any Dog/Owner/Breeder who places in her Breed Class as BB, BOS, or BP should consider these wins to be high praise indeed.
Booster updates to continue to follow in the coming days/months leading up to it.. We are looking forward to this amazing four day Iceland Sheepdog Event, and please feel free to contact the club for more information or if you would like to help in some way.
For those of you that can't make it up, consider supporting a win, and get your Kennel name out there.Also anyone out there with puppies that want to bring them up to help build the puppy class, bring them on up!
For full details on the event, see below.
Hello Folks,
Well it looks like we have the basic plan in place for our first National Canadian CISC Icelandic Booster and Weekend Event. At this time, things can change, and if so, we will let you know, but for right now this appears to be what will be offered, if you are coming by Motor home, the club highly recommends that you reserve your spot as soon as possible, its my understanding that the Alberta Kennel Club will have their official premium list online in May, I will announce as soon possible.
It would appear that we will have folks coming from Eastern Canada, Eastern United States, Western Canada, and Folks from all down the Western Coast of the United States to the show and CISC Icelandic Booster.
We look forward to seeing you all in the future, for those in the states, I highly recommend that you start working on getting your dogs CKC registered if you are interested in coming up.
