The 2012 OESCA National Specialty Presents:
The ABC's of Dog Breeding by Claudia Waller Orlandi, PhD

This is a two part seminar that takes a practical, step-by-step-approach to the art and science of breeding. This seminar will outline the 7 key breeding tools and concepts, which include:

5. anatomy
6. kennel blindness
7. genetic defects

In addition to discussing the basic rules of heredity, the ABC's of Dog Breeding will addresses many of the common misconceptions that have been handed down from dog breeder to dog breeder.

The Annual Performance Meeting is an informal gathering of performance minded individuals. The meeting's function is partly social -  this is the one time a year many of us get a chance to see old friends and fellow competitors from across the US and beyond - and part brain-storming; to work on some of the ideas and possible initiatives that have been percolating through-out the performance community during the preceding year. Anyone actively, or even merely interested in, competing in performance events with their Old English Sheepdogs is encouraged to attend.

Flying in and don't want to pay a fortune in excess baggage fees?

The OES Club of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc. will be renting out grooming tables, crates & chairs on a first-come, first-serve basis for the duration of both specialties. $25.00 for a grooming table, $20.00 for a crate and $5.00 for a chair.

Please contact: Jan Wolf at jmwolf@earthlink.net or (262) 305-9026
We suggest you reserve equipment early as there is a limited number of crates & tables available.
