News And Announcements
There is no other festival like it in North America. Woofstock is the largest festival for dogs and their owners on the continent. And we're now world famous. We're "front and centre" – taking up a good stretch of Front Street (as well as adjoining side streets) and just steps from the centre of the city in one of Toronto’s most upscale neighbourhoods, the St. Lawrence Market area.
Date: May 15, 2010 Location: Walkerton Community Centre, Walkerton Time: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
The 2010 IFCS Championship will be held in North Somerset, England, on May 14-16, 2010. The event will be held indoors at The Hand Equestrian Centre.
From AAC.ca
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to announce the team that will be representing Canada and the AAC at the IFCS Championships in 2010. The pool of applicants was large and very competitive, and the team is representative of the extraordinary talent that can be found in rings across the country.
Team members were selected on the basis of placements in the individual classes at the 2008 and 2009 Nationals. Placements generated WT points, but only clean runs in the top ten of each class earned points. If a dog competed both years, the WT score from the best of the two years was used. Only those handlers who submitted applications were considered.
Three team members and two alternates were identified for each of the four jump heights. Unfortunately, the IFCS requires that a team be locked in as of the closing date (around April 1), so alternates will not be travelling to the event unless one of the team members has to pull out prior to the closing date. Appointments to the team are subject to satisfactory measurement by three AAC judges.
