After much discussion, it was finally decided that Big Sky should affiliate with the American Working Malinois Association. We have been a United Schutzhund Clubs of America member club for many years, but the expenses for our small club were getting to be too much. We’re sorry to leave UScA, but are excited about our relationship with AWMA.
Janice has added a new member to her household!

JJ has experience in behaviour modification, training for obedience competition, tracking and flyball, and is an excellent helper/decoy in the protection sports.
We train Saturday morning until dark, then talk dogs the rest of the evening with good food, good drink, and good company at a club-hosted potluck. Sunday morning we train until JJ’s plane leaves. We welcome newcomers, and whether you need help with a specific exercise on obedience or want to learn everything from the ground up, this is the place to do it.

Everyone –
We regret to inform you of the cancellation of our trial scheduled for Aug. 24-25. Our trial helper, JJ Belcher from Arizona, is suffering from a very large (9mm) kidney stone. He meets with an urologist tomorrow to determine how best to resolve this painful condition. We send him all of our best wishes and are so grateful he is willing to make the trip to Montana once a month to help us out. In the meantime, we are attempting to reschedule a trial for later this fall and will let all of you know if we are successful.
Best wishes for great training.
Janice Bogy
