Off lead in a park?
I didn't know that...there's no way I'd let Ziggy run loose. He is super fast! The pet store sounds good. We have Petco and Petsmart in Denton. I think it would be great to meet up. I'd be happy to call and ask them about it if you all would like to meet in Denton. A Friday, Saturday, or Sunday would work for me.
About the fun match...I remember it was like a regular dog show with real judges. It was just for dogs/puppies to get used to showing. Anyway, it was a lot of fun.
