Vancouver Island Pointing Dog Club
VIPDC Current Events
Congratulations to our 2009 Member of the Year!
*Laurie Inrig*
The Vancouver Island Pointing Dog Club meets approximately once a month and members are invited to bring their pointing dog for a training session. Our more experienced and knowledgable members will discuss equipment and demonstrate training methods and members will have the opportunity to work with their own dogs on those topics covered. The sessions are applicable to all levels, from puppies to trained adults.
Announcements
In order to rotate the dogs through a variety of properties and availability is subject to many factors (weather, haying, spraying etc) we would like to implement a "thank you" to the gracious land owners who allow us to use their properties. We ask a suggested donation of $5.00 per family per event.
Membership dues for 2010 ($35.00 single, $50.00 family) You can send an email to our treasurer for the address to send your cheque or just bring it to our next event.
