HRM Natal Day Parade INVITATION

The members of the Nova Scotia German Shepherd Dog Club will again be
participating in the HRM Natal Day Parade. As a club, we are extending an invitation to other responsible dog owners to join us as we parade our friends. It is not necessary to have a German Shepherd Dog - your breed of choice is welcome - but he/she must be a friendly canine citizen. Each person is responsible for looking after the needs of his/her friend, including clean up, water, etc.



If you are interested in joining us, we'd love to have you! Please let us know by either completing the application below and forwarding to
hugadog@ns.sympatico.ca or telephone Helen Watts at (902) 757-0655 by July 20th latest. We look forward to hearing from you!

WALKIN’ WITH  RDOGS!

GRAB YOUR LEASH…GET YOUR FRIENDS…. AND BRING THE DOGS!!  JOIN THE NOVA SCOTIA GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG CLUB IN THE NATIONAL WALK OF SUPPORT FOR RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH IS RDOG DAY

Responsible Dog Ownership Groups (RDOGS) and individual dog owners across Canada will take to the streets and demonstrate the benefits that responsible dog ownership brings to our local communities.

RDOG Day is a national initiative of the Canadian Kennel Club and supported by Dogs in Canada magazine and like-minded organizations across Canada.  To review a list of national organizations supporting RDOG Day initiative, visit www.ckc.ca. 

BRING YOUR PAL(S) AND JOIN RDOGS! As we did last year, the NSGSDC will again be meeting and starting off at the lower end of the Historic Properties area.

TO ALL WHO JOINED US LAST YEAR, PLEASE COME WITH US AGAIN.  THE DOGS WERE A BIG HIT AND MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE EXPERIENCE INTERACTED WITH BREEDS THEY HAVE ONLY SEEN FROM AFAR.  IN 2008, WE HAD ONE OF THE BEST TURNOUTS IN THE COUNTRY AND WE’RE AIMING TO BETTER THE NUMBERS THIS YEAR – THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Please try to join us – it’s a great day for a good walk and a good walk for a great cause.  Please e-mail hugadog@ns.sympatico.ca or call 632-2113 for information or to join the group.
