bob d Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Greetings, First post here (I guess I should confess that?) I realize this is not a local resource, and I have a very specific question.. I have a very happy and active 9 mo BC, and I've been searching for local (to me) contacts - a club, or group, or .. .. I guess it is typical that he learns things very quickly, loves agility type activities, and I think getting involved with others doing this would be fun for him. I've been using the web to try to find 'sort of local' contacts for me, and to date I have had no success, so I thought I'd post here.. I'm on Camano Island, in Washington State - about midway between Seattle and the Canadian border. I can find clubs and contact in Seattle of course, but I'm thinking there has to be something closer. Any suggestions - either people, clubs, or tactics to find same? Perhaps weird, but I have no contacts at all in the world of dogs.. Thinking dogs, this is Sparc: Cheers, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKM's Mom Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Bob, Are you looking for others to do any doggie type things with or a specific dog sport? Cindi I LOVE that look on your pups face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi Bob, I am up in Bellingham, there are a couple clubs doing agility up here. There is herding training locally in Snohomish County, I'm not sure about flyball. I think they do agility in Mt.Vernon too. You might try emailing a local rescue operation try this website, www.ravensgate.org They are on Camano Island, and the person who runs it might have some ideas. Good luck, Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob d Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi HKM's Mom, I am looking for a group that gets together for agility sort of activities and training too. (Years ago, before kids in fact, I had Labs, and used to be very active with field trial groups - it was fun for all of us) I am also sure my Sparc will want to do Flyball too - so either or both - Agility and Flyball. I too love that photo of him (of course) - If you're interested, here is a link to a larger version of it: Serious Sparc photo He is not at all as serious as the photo seems to make him appear, this shows him a bit more in character: And Caroline, thanks, I will send them an email. (this fall both of our daughters will be attending Western, in your city, so we get up there fairly often) Cheers, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob d Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Well darn (Caroline) - the Ravensgate.org web site consists of only an email address, and it seems that email address doesn't actually exist.. Email sent to it is bounced back.. So I am right where I started.. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi Bob, I emailed you but also to say that the site may be down temporarily while being updated. I have a few feelers out for other training opportunities. I will let you know what I find out. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKM's Mom Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Bob, I know some sport dog people in your area. MOst were out of town for some events but I'll let you know what's available once they get back. Not all are BC people but they are still very nice and welcome new people with open arms.
