This year we have a new superintendent for our Specialty Shows that will be held in August in conjunction with the Tioga Kennel Club Shows, at Owego NY. James Rau is the new superintendent, taking over from McNulty Dog Shows. These shows have now been turned into a three day circuit, having shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday August 13th thru the 15th.

The judges for this event will be:

Conformation:                                                                                               Sweepstakes

Friday: Katherine Kolbert                                                                           

Saturday: Ruth Zimmerman                                                                       Irene Fonseca

Sunday:  William Hostler                                                                            Stephanie Podejko

The Empire Keeshond Club is preparing a trophy list for DOUBLE Specialties at Owego. We are hoping that we will have enough entries for majors every day of the circuit and will therefore need double trophies.

Once again, we appreciated last years donations and if we are to make this year even better we need your help. Please return that attached form to me before February 20, 2010. We are now facing a new printing deadline with the new superintendent. Next year we hope to do better with the timing of things.

Thanking you in Advance ,
