The judging program isn't out yet but I'll try to keep an eye out for it. It usually doesn't come out until the week right before the event.

Most specialty shows start in the morning, figure 8ish, and runs throughout the day. Usually there is a ring for conformation, one for obedience and another for rally. Sometimes they combine the obedience and rally rings if it's a smaller show. Oh, and did I mention there is usually vendors selling pet stuff at these shows?! Hmmmm, shopping....

I had no idea Friday was an all Corgi day! Is there a schedule somewhere, I might be able to take off a half day to watch the show.

No problem, Valleyfest was fun last year. They had a herding demo that Ashton thought was really exciting since they had a bunch of ducks running around. lol

To add to Kelly's post, the Richland Kennel Club's Dog Show in the Tri-Cities is also hosting the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America Specialty on October 1st. So if you want to see only Cardis that is the place to be! So all Cardigans on the 1st, then you can see them along with Pembrokes the next couple of days in the All-Breed shows. It will definitely be a corgi filled weekend in the Tri-cities. :)

Thanks for the links Gail and Ashton, the Valleyfest sounds fun.

The Responsible Dog Owner Day on the 26th sounds like a lot of fun, and Spokane is only two and a half hours away. Another event people might like to attend is the Dog Show here in the Tri-Cities, on October 2. In addition to having it held in Columbia Park along our gorgeous river, it's also a major show for Corgis. I've seen years where there are 35+ Corgis competing from around the Northwest.

Rachel and Oliver, the SCRAPS Dog Park is really close to Idaho. If you go to the link above it has some info about the park. We usually hit the park when we go to Spokane for shopping trips. Moses Lake is such a dinky town we don't have PetSmart, Petco or even a dog park! *cries*

I do have a suggestion for all you corgi slaves in the Spokane area. Spokane Valleyfest 2010 has a Responsible Dog Owner Day on Sunday, September 26. We went last year and it was a fun day out with Ashton. They had demos, CGC testing, information booths plus all the vendor booths for the Valleyfest. After that we just went a few more miles down the road for some off leash time at the dog park. It might be a nice place for a little corgi gathering. :) Unfortunately for us we are going to miss out on this event this year since we will be at a dog show in Shelton, Wa so if you guys go you'll have to tell us about it!

Oops, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm talking about the dry side of the state...east of the Cascades. It's a four+ hour drive to the Corgi gathering this weekend and I won't be able to make it.

Gail and Ashton, I'm not familiar w/ that park. We moved here from the Portland area about a year ago. Where is it?

Emily and Willow, yay! Spokane Corgi's. :) We usually walk around Comstock or Manito. If you ever want to meet Oliver, let me know. He's really good w/ all dogs. He's just a year old, so he has a lot of puppy spirit.

Kelly, by Eastside do you mean "the Eastside" or east of the Cascades? If you're talkin' Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue area I'm in as long as it's not the 24th or 25th (disc golf tournament in Olympia). I wish I could provide a yard for this but I'm in a capitol hill condo....

Comment by Kelly on August 30, 2010 at 2:42am

I was wondering if maybe we could have an eastside get-together at a park, have a picnic, maybe some dog games, etc. If everyone's dog is okay off leash we don't need to look for a fenced yard, somewhere pretty and easy to get to might just be fun. Then we should also decide on a day...this weekend or maybe later in September? Anyone ideas?
