Friday’s racing will be held in one ring. Saturday and Sunday racing will be held in two rings utilizing one racing schedule. Our judges will be Darrel West and Dale Smith. Charlene Pinelli will be apprenticing.
Colorado climate:
Colorado weather is generally dry. Nevertheless, for the past three years, we have had rain on at least one tournament day. So, be prepared for possible rain, heat, wind, and sun. All racing will be held indoors. Ample indoor crating is available, but some crating will be in an adjacent building named the Al Lesser Building.
Be sure you and your dog drink lots of water. Drinking water will help not only with adjusting to the dry climate, but also helps tremendously with acclimating to the higher altitude.
