A heads up for all our friends who compete with their Irish Setters. In addition to the circuit detailed below, the Irish Setter Club of Canada is sponsoring a supported entry on the Saturday of the Skaha shows. Beautiful trophies and rosettes will be offered and the club is planning a great social gathering that will allow everyone to re-connect and enjoy each others’ company. All of the shows are outdoors - a perfect venue for our beautiful red dogs. We hope to see you... there! KOOTENAY SKAHA CIRCUIT If anyone can still remember, in the seventies, there was a circuit at the end of August through to the Labour Day weekend that started with the Cranbrook & District Kennel Club, moved to the West Kootenay Kennel Club a day off for travel and then to the Kamloops & District Kennel Club. This continued from 1975 to 1983. Well, the circuit has again been resurrected and now starts in Cranbrook on August 26-28, West Kootenay August 29-Spetember 1, a day of travel to Skaha Kennel Club September 3-6/21. What a wonderful opportunity to take a holiday in Southern BC. A paradise for golfing, fishing, hiking or only plain relaxing in the mountains or at your favorite lakes, that are still very warm at this time of year. Enjoy the sunshine and spectacular scenery of this wonderful part of the Province. Fun in the Sun. Great way to end your summer. Best of all, you have the opportunity to enter at least 11-12 All Breed Dog Shows (when approved), many Limited Breed Shows and Specialty Breed Shows. There will also be many Obedience and Rally Trials to help ease the boredom. What a wonderful way of finishing championships and performance titles all in one adventuresome holiday. Hopefully, by the end of August, the Provincial regulations for Covid will be reduced if not lifted for outdoor sport participation with almost all people in Canada being vaccinated by this time. The three Clubs are optimistic that this will all unfold, and the Kootenay Skaha Circuit can proceed with their plans and make this a success for all involved. Come and enjoy some of the best part of beautiful BC and enjoy it with your dogs at these great shows and trials. An adventure you will never forget, the KOOTENAY SKAHA CIRCUIT.

Of course we do not endorse any product, but we do love it when a company's commercial features the best dog breed!
