Many thanks are owed to the many people supporting our community and the advancement of stock dogs and handlers alike. Without them and their support of our community, our partnerships wouldn't be what they are today. This month we would like to give a special thanks to Lynne Green of A Sheperd's Retreat, Laura Vishoot of Palm Cottage Farm, Chris Soderstrom from Fido's Farm and George and Sue MacDonald for giving our dogs and handlers a home. Please join us in showing our gratitude to these wonderful hosts. A final thank you to all of our board members working tirelessly behind the scenes to create opportunities for learning, connection and fun.
