Iowa Stock Dog Association Benefit Fun Day, Fun Trial and Annual Meeting Sunday, April 5th, 2009 Hosted by Bob Johnson, Tingley, Iowa All Breeds and Levels of herding dogs* and handlers welcome *Leashed and Current on Vaccinations

The Iowa Stock Dog Association would like to invite you to come to our Fun Day and Fun Trial to be held at Bob Johnson’s arena on the west edge of Tingley, Iowa. Please come and participate in raffles, join in the pot luck lunch w/ bake sale and either enter a dog or watch the fun that we have with our dogs in the fun trial with sheep. This is an all day event, the Tingley Community Center will be available for the potluck and for restroom breaks, or to get out of the weather is needed. If you have a working dog you are welcome to participate, we only require that you are able to control your dog while off leash and when around livestock.

If you have an item that you would be willing to donate for the raffles, please drop off your items at the Community Center sometime in the morning, we will have a table set up dedicated to raffle items.

Proceeds of the event will be donated to assist in the production of the National Cattle Dog Finals, which will be held this May in Nebraska. We have many Iowa Handlers and Dogs that are qualified and attending, let’s show them our support!
