Chelsey's Article in the Sault Star

The weekend of May 19 and 20, 2007 at the Soo Curling Club, was the Sault Ste. Marie Kennel Club Dog Show. To accompany the dog show was a very special event, NAMBR (North American Mixed Breed Registry).

NAMBR allows owners of “all Canadians” to pursue performance goals and titles in the same way the owners of registered purebreds can through the various Kennel Clubs. This opens up wonderful new avenues to dogs from shelters, rescue organizations, re-homed pets and other adoptions that usually come without those precious ‘papers’. NAMBR also allows NAMBR registered purebreds to compete in NAMBR sanctioned Obedience events." NAMBR website.

With the support of the SSM Kennel Club I hosted my first trial. I would like to thank the SSM Kennel Club because without their support this event wouldn't have been possible. I adopted Chelsey from our local shelter in 2004. Over the weekend we earned our first title of CD(Compaion Dog) and a leg towards the next title CDX (Companion Dog Excellent). The over all show was a huge success and many CKC exhibitors thought that NAMBR was such a great organization. If you are interested in finding out what NAMBR is all about please visit there website at: http://www.nambr.cardoso.ca/index.php
There is an upcoming NAMBR Trial in Elliot Lake on August 11th.
So get a shelter dog and expose what great dogs they can be!
