ThePresident’sLetter Hello members,

,

As I have fulfilled another 6 year term on the PWDCC Board, the last 3 as President, this will be my last Waterlog message. And what a great one to end on.

The Canadian representation at the PWDCA Specialty once again demonstrated formidable achievements. Our contingent punched way above its weight. Last year winning top honours as BOB and this year Superdog among the many, many placements in all of the performance and conformation events. Special Congratulations must go to Brenda Brown and Superdog “True”. This wonderful team competed in all 6 events qualifying in all 5 performance events topped off by winning Reserve Winners Dog from the Amateur Owner Handlers class – no mean feat in itself.

I hope that you have seen the new PWDCC Board list. The Club is in excellent hands with Catherine Gadd, who you all know as a long time member and Water Trial Judge Extraordinaire. Also remaining are Diane Dirsus, our Treasurer and long time member breeder Jennifer Byers. We have a record five new Board members. Roy Vokes, long time PWD owner who has been very active in keeping the water program in Ontario afloat, Lorie Crouch, our newest Water Trial Judge, and Tan Crombie who generously is pitching in as Secretary. I’m also delighted that we have two Western representatives, Michelle Hammerschmidt from BC and Denyse Martin from Alberta.

I know that this will be a very active and involved Board with new ideas and initiatives.

All best wishes to our members wishing you and your dogs good health and success in all your PWD endeavours.

Mindy Selby PWDCC President mindy@pwdcc.org
