We have a long, fenced off area. You are
at one end and your dog is at the other. Call that puppy and we will
clock him with a radar gun! Any breed is welcome, but be aware that most of
the greyhounds are always ready to double dog dare ya to beat them!!
(Dogs are ranked in different classes according to their size--Dachshunds,
for example, are not competing against a greyhound's speed!)

Canine Good Citizen Test
presented by the High Desert Obedience Club
The CGC Test is to
demonstrate that the dog as a companion of man, can be a respected member of
the community, and can be trained and conditioned to always behave in the
home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs in a manner that
will reflect credit on the dog. To qualify, a dog must pass each of the ten
test categories listed below. Cost for the CGC test is $10 for the
first dog and $8 each for any additional dogs.
(Please Note: CGC is not an official AKC title and will not appear on a
dog's registration certificate or pedigree. It is meant to reward dogs for
having good manners, which enhances public acceptance of dogs. It is the
first AKC program ever opened to non-purebred dogs.)
For more details, please see:
