Events Invitations and not just announcements…

This Year’s Shows Are In the Books

From March 27th through the 29th, WCKC once again presented our annual Conformation Shows. For the second year in a row we hosted the Regional National Owner Handler Series (NOHS) events leading up to the National Finals in Orlando, FL, later this year. This special event was a “Black Tie Affair” where everyone made sure to wear their evening’s best. We also had six Specialties joining in on the fun, and with Fetch and Farm Dog events outside there was plenty to do over the weekend. Throw in plenty of vendors, raffles, food, excitement…and, of course, dogs, everyone had a good time overall. Now that the shows are done, the dogs at home resting on their couches, and the exhibitors, judges, and show committee soaking their feet in Epsom salts, you can check the results by clicking on each of the following: • Friday, March 27, 2026 o Bracco Italiano Club of America ▪ Regional Show ▪ National Specialty o Greater Cincinnati Rottweiler Club o Miami Valley Boxer Club ▪ Show 1 ▪ Show 2 o Siberian Husky Club of Greater Cleveland ▪ Show 1 ▪ Show 2 o NOHS Regional • Saturday, March 28, 2026 o WCKC All-Breed Conformation Show o WCKC “B-Pup” Competition o Cincinnati Shetland Sheepdog Club • Sunday, March 29, 2026 o WCKC All-Breed Conformation Show o WCKC “B-Pup” Competition o Cincinnati Shetland Sheepdog Club We also invite you to keep your eye on the website as we begin our planning for this year’s Dog-OH-Rama; a four-day set of performance events held at Armco Park in Lebanon, OH. We hope to see you there in September. For more information, see below.

Dog-OH-Rama

September 4 - 7, 2026

Hosted by Warren County Kennel Club in conjunction with the German Shepherd Dog Club of Greater Cincinnati Over Friday through Monday of Labor Day weekend, WCKC will once again present Dog-OH-Rama and we’re just beginning the planning now. This event involves a number of performance trials made for the novice to experienced handler. The events planned for this year include: • Fast Cat • Dock Diving • Temperament Testing • Farm Dog • Fetch • Canine Good Citizen Testing • Trick Dog • AKC Sanctioned B-Match (Added for 2026) Once we complete the 2026 Conformation shows, we will turn our complete attention on Dog-OH-Rama. We are already setting up committees and preparing materials for the various events. We also hope to be joined by at least two food trucks and a bevy of vendors. Of course, this will take a lot of planning and participation, so if you’re at all inclined in helping with this event, please contact Kendall Caudill at thebrewdogss@gmail.com.

Next Regular Meeting, Wednesday, April 15, 2026

We generally get together on the third Wednesday of every month, and you’re welcome to join us. At this time we’re preparing for our annual conformation shows in Wilmington Ohio at the end of March. Once again, we were honored with the Midwest Regional NOHS show. So, if you’re interested in seeing what goes into one of these events first hand, you’re more than welcome to join us at the next meeting. The location sometimes varies, so check the schedule before hopping in the car. While we hold our meetings in-person, we can also host them online for those who can’t make it. So, check with us for instructions on how to join the fun virtually. Because or live meetings are generally located at commercial eating establishments, we ask that you not bring your dog, unless they’re a service dog, of course. This next meeting will be at: Acapulco Mexican Restaurant 916 Columbus Ave #7 Lebanon, OH 45036
