Hi All: We hope training is going well for everyone. A couple of quick updates: 1. Shirts / sweatshirts are now available for pre-order on the website. 2. Tracking pics will be updated soon. The weather has been unseasonably warm and grass is now green / growing. 3. FH tracking will be in grass / hay. Please let us know if there are any questions / issues / concerns. Thanks, Jim Alloway / Mid-Ohio Schutzhund

Hi All:

1. Thanks for all the support . . . although not all complete, we now have over 50 competitors . . . some of the best dogs in the country!!
2. Deadline for entry is this Saturday at Midnight . . . if you've already pre-registered, make sure you mail entry and check to USCA by April 4th.
3. For those asking, YES we will have a full practice field with exact Jump/Wall/Blinds . . . they will all be walking distance from the Stadium . . . we'll have the jump/wall on site so they can be practiced before you go on the field for obedience if you need.
4. The jump and wall will be set up side-by-side with the jump closer to the sideline and the wall closer to the center line.  All throws will be in the direction of the send out . . . therefore when looking at the jump and wall from the competitor's view, the jump will be on the left.
5. Tracking grass will NOT be cut before the competition . . . expect grass to be 12 - 18 inches high . . .  I'm doing my best to make sure it rains heavily the week before  . . . don't ask :)

Please let me know if anyone has any questions/issues/concerns.

GREAT turnout Jim!! Should be a great event! Thanks to you and Mid-Ohio for hosting this event!

Thanks to all. Final number is 77 entries. A few have asked so I'll clarify the entry process. All competitors filled out an online form. Once complete, they must send a waiver, money, and scorebook copy to the USCA office. Once this is received and confirmed, then their name appears on the site as a competitor. This accounts for the temporary disparity between the numbers I'm sharing with you and the numbers on the event site. As always, please let me know if you have any issues, questions, or concerns.
