June 7 - BIG DOG PARADE
What better way to spend a day summer day than in Santa Barbara by the beach! Look here for more info on the parade.
Louise will be sending out another flyer about the event to all the puppy raisers. But, if you just can't wait to join the GDA group in the parade, you can e-mail Sha for more info. (Sha has requested that your subject line include "Big Dog Parade" or she may consider it spam.)
June 9 - SOUTH BAY MEETING & PUPPY TRIALS
