How To Get There Judy and Scott Chambers 10184 Ehlen Road, NE Aurora, OR 97002 503-678-6933 home 503-705-7099 cell From I-5 south or north take exit #278 (Ehlen Road/ Aurora) Turn west toward Champoug State park Drive approximately 2.2 miles Drive is on the left (north) side of the street (drive is gravel) Green metal gate is open and we are the only house at the end Brags Tamaria Hartman, MyKiss Labradors: MBISS MBOSS AM/CAN GCH MYKISS CHIPS AHOY WC RN CGC FDC CHIP and I had a great weekend at the Clark County Event Center Dec 2-4th and he can now proudly add RN, CGC, FDC to his name. We were entered in Rally and in spite of a short training time and his absent minded handler Chip earned his Rally Novice Title with his title run earning a 1st place with a score of 93! The event was a multi hosted Rally/ Obedience trail with 2 trials each day and several other clubs hosting fun events including a CGC, Farm Dog Certification, Trick Dog, Lure Coursing and Barn Hunt. Since it was a double trial each day we had several hours to wait for our 2nd run and decided to have some fun and also get in a little practice so off to the CGC ring first, and then on the enthusiastic recommendation from Toni Leitao we ventured down to the barn to check out the AKC Farm Dog Certification, which is essentially the country dogs version of the CGC and seemed like it would be fun. Chip enjoyed the different elements and passed easily earning his FDC title. The many different clubs did a great job hosting all these events and we sure had a great time! 2019 Judges Nominations (Due to Judy Chambers by January 1): Club members in good standing will nominate judges using the attached 2019 Judges Nomiations Form. The nominations will be placed on a ballot that will be handed out to club members in attendance at the annual meeting held in January. No nominations will be taken from the floor. Ballots will be counted and if a runoff is required, can be done by show of hands for the tied candidates. Each club members nominations are limited to two regular class judges for the specialty, two sweepstakes nominations for the specialty and one obedience judge for the specialty. Only one name can be put forward if that is all that is all the member wants. B-Match nominations are be limited to three names: Regular class judge, sweeps judge and obedience judge. Consideration should be given to people who plan to eventually apply for a judging license. A RCLRC member is usually selected to judge sweeps at the B-Match and the regular class judge can be anyone. Obedience nominations should be able to judge obedience and rally. Please make sure the B-Match nominees want to judge before putting their name forward. Research your specialty selections to make sure they are not judging another west coast specialty, or local all breed show in the year prior to the RCLRC show date. Provide a brief history of the judge and their kennel name that will appear on the ballot. Obedience judges do not need this information but must be able to judge obedience at all levels plus rally. 2
