1. What exactly is a Fun/Play day?

Fun Days are just what the name implies, these are non-competitive practice days.
Fun Day events usually include some of the following: Racing, Go-To-Ground, Super Go-To-Ground, Ball Toss and Puissance (High Jump).

The registration desk opens around8:30 - 9:00 AM.
In the hot summer months the first event we start with is racing which gets going around 9:30 – 10:00 AM, so that the dogs are finished before the Noon-Day sun gets too hot.

The Fun Days are an all-day affair, the last event usually wraps up around 3:00 or 4:00 PM.
A "token" is used for each event. The cost of tokens to members are $5.00 each or 10 for $40.00. Non-members must pay $7.00 per token after the first visit.
Our Welcoming Committee is on-hand to help you complete your entry form, explain how each event works and answer any questions that you might have.
Everyone is welcome to stop by and watch the days events, so come out and experience a great time for all! Also, other terriers are welcome to participate in the days events.

6. I have seen the word Puissance a few times... what is it??

Just another name for the high jump, where each dog takes turns jumping, raising the bar each pass thru until only dog is left.
