On
Saturday March 1, 2008 PASA had an Education and Fun Day at Lion
rock Ranch in San Juan Batista. There were three main events :
Herding instinct testing, agility course and tracking
demonstration.
The herding stoled the show. Bob Ewing gave the instinct
tests and most of the poeple either watched or watched while waiting
their turn. In face, most of the watchers eventually signed
up. We had a nested elite/novice agility course set up and
there was never a line. Susan Laursen and Jean Danver helped a
couple of interested beginners. At the end, Donna Highstreet gave
a tracking demo with her dog, Rubi. Rubi successfully found every
article. A number of people just enjoyed hiking around or wading
ing the creek with their dogs.
Thanks to
Mona , who did most of the arrangements and lunch; Maralise Howze
& Geary Barnes for bringing the trailor with the agility equipment;
Susan Larsen, Jean Danver and Dave Grubel for agility course building;
Donna Highstreet for the tracking demo and all the people who
volunteered to put everything away.
