Central States Collie Club annual specialty show

"Whether you’re familiar with Lassie or not, there’s an event coming up at Alden’s Kennels, 6810 Barnard Mill Road, Ringwood, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 19 and 20, that you might want to see. The Central States Collie Club will hold its annual specialty show. Only collies, please. But, if you know collies, you realize that’s quite alright. The show will include both obedience and conformation competition. The prior of these has various levels of ability corresponding to the dog’s training. Basics include heeling patterns, recall, and sit and down stays, while advanced levels include off-lead work, scent articles, retrieving and jumping. Alden’s Kennels, the site of the show, has state-of-the-art boarding kennels and provides professional dog training with Master Trainers Ashley O’Byrne and Carlos D. Aguirre. Training, in private or group lessons, includes puppy imprinting, behavior modification, conformation, Schutzhund, therapy dog, hunting dog and more.
