June 1st, 2nd & 3rd Clackamas County Fairgrounds 694 NE 4th Avenue Canby, OR 97013 We are proud to announce the all new Working Dogs Weekend this year in Portland OR. Hosted by Bella Rosa Cane Corsos, we are extremely excited to be offering the K9 ProSports Regional Trials on Saturday! Then on Sunday, we have the ATTS. In addition, we will be holding a Conformation, Structure and Movement Clinic Friday night, as well as youth obedience, and the list goes on. We expect a number of vendors, as well as rescue groups, to join us. And we'll be having raffles throughout the weekend to benefit rescue. Don't miss your chance to win something great!!! We have reformatted this event to address the needs of
working dog owners in our region. Our intention is to
provide an exciting, fun-packed and educational weekend for
ALL working dogs and their owners. This event is one of a
kind! There is nothing like it on the West Coast, so get it
on your schedule now! Canine Good Citizen Testing will be available throughout
the weekend. For those ready for the next step, the American
Temperament Test Society will be holding an official TT test
on Sunday. This is a comprehensive temperament examination
to prove the stability and sound mind of your dog, and the
TT title is recognized throughout the country. This clinic will be held on Friday
night. It is designed to educate judges who wish to evaluate
working breeds in conformation, as well as for the owner /
handler of working dog breeds who want to enter their dogs
in the conformation show ring. Join us Saturday morning for a conformation show with the
National Canine Association. NCA's mission is to put the fun
back into showing by leveling the playing field between
professional and owner handlers. Come strut your dogs stuff.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from a man who has
spent his life training working dogs throughout the world,
and whose clients range from victims of domestic violence,
to major corporations in the US and Mexico, to the current
President of the United States, George W. Bush. You
definitely don't want to miss this! We are proud to be hosting the K9 ProSports NW Regional
Trials as part of the Working Dogs Expo. The trials will
include competitions in the Youth, Training, Personal
Protection and Patrol Dog Divisions. All breeds are eligible
in this competition, and membership in K9 ProSports is NOT
required to participate. CASH PRIZES will be awarded to the
top dogs in the competition! Try your dog on the Agitation Line. Here we will have Mr.
Cappel, Trainer Brian Lehfeldt and Agitator / Decoy Timothy
Steagall test your dog on the line. This is a fantastic way
to demonstrate flirting and agitation to your own dog, and
to measure his response to it. This exercise can give you
insight into where your dog is at right now and what to do
next. This is an opportunity not to be missed! Many working dog breeders will be on hand to answer your
questions and speak to you about their breeds. Trainers
experienced in working breeds will be available to discuss
your goals and training concerns. You will also find vendors
selling such hard to find items as custom leashes for big
dogs, agitation collars, weight pull harnesses, bite suits
and other equipment. Meet representatives for premium dog
foods and take home some samples to try. All responsible dog owners are welcome to join us for
this unique and exciting event. Please remember that all
activities and schedules are subject to change. Of course,
we cannot control the weather - This event will be held RAIN
OR SHINE! Space is limited for some activities, so
PRE-REGISTRATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! !!! SAFETY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN !!!
