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

The meeting starts at 6:30pm with our mock-puppy trial in preparation for Open House. Any nervousness you're feeling "travels down the leash" so this is a great opportunity to work out your jitters before the big day.
