Giant Schnauzer Enthusiast,

The 2010 Giant Schnauzer National is right around the corner and there is still time to make reservations for the two dinners.  Deadline was 9/1 but I can take reservations for about 1 week more and then that is it – so get them in.

Also, we still need volunteers — stewards, hospitality, etc.  Please let me know where you would like to help in making this national a success.  Additional 2010 National information is available at: http://2010national.giantschnauzerclubofamerica.com/

Thanks to all who have already volunteered and contributed,

Trial Chairman

Once again we are going to have a Colorado Giant Schnauzer Picnic!

Reserve Sunday, August 29 for a lot of fun for dogs and humans!  We have reserved the pavilion at Anderson Park, 4355 Field Street, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 (this is between Kipling and Wadsworth off 44th – just south of I-70).  We’ll set up by 11:00 and probably run until people get tired.  It is on the Green Belt and Clear Creek runs through it (Remember 2 years ago when we had 15 Giants swimming in the creek at the same time?) with plenty of shade and parking.

To offset the expense, we are asking for $10.00 per person to cover the cost of the park reservation of the pavilion and the KFC and plates, etc. which we will provide.  Bring a side dish, a salad, a dessert, or something to share and your Giant with a leash, crate, x-pen, or something as they cannot just run loose, and join the crowd. Know any other Giant lovers?  Ask them to come too.

Please give Barb Arkin (303-431-4252) or baarkin@aol.com a call so we can get some idea of numbers to expect.

Laurie Mason has volunteered to give anyone who wants it a lesson in pet grooming and clipping for your dog. She’ll have grooming tools and tables.  Barb Arkin and Duchess (her Giant) will give demos in tracking in case anyone else wants to try this sport with their Giant (You do not need a blood hound for this – Giants are great!). Anyone else?  All ideas are welcome!
