DSA Lights it up at the Parade of Lights!
For the third year in the row, DSA has participated in Denver's 9News Parade of Lights. Lori Elvera once again served as coordinator and liaison for this event. As part of the requirements, and fun of participating in this particular parade, meant that our costumes must feature lights! We decided to sew/pin battery-operated LED lights to our Wolf Packs® Dog Packs. The lights accented our beautiful Samoyed's silver tipped coats and the dog packs emphasized our working breed heritage.
Of course the Sammy smile instilled the spirit of the holidays in everyone!

Herding Clinic
(photo by Kent Dannen) WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND If you would like to learn more about herding events and/or determine if your dog has the potential for herding!
The 1st leg is the Herding Instinct Test, where the instructor takes the participant’s dog into a smaller round pen with 3 sheep and observes the dog’s behavior to determine if the dog has the natural instinct to herd. The 2nd leg is when the owner takes their dog into a larger rectangular pen and the dog must follow these directions: wait until released to the sheep, move the sheep up and down the larger pen, turn them in several directions and come and stop when called.
Also, if you are a Samoyed Club of American member, your dog can earn points toward their Working Samoyed title.
Our instructor's time is valuable!
If you wish to attend this clinic, you must notify Mary Lloyd one week prior to the clinic you wish to attend, and prepay for your chosen lesson or evaluation.

All the funds raised at the K9 Cancer Walks go directly to fund the much needed research at veterinary science research facilities across the country to study cancer prevention, develop early detection methods, develop new cancer treatments and ultimately, find a cure for canine cancer.
