			<description><![CDATA[ A very dear friend of mine was named AKC Breeder of the Year at the Eukanuba Championship last weekend.  I am thrilled to death for her.  Claudia&#39;s ethics
are top notch, and she breeds wonderful bassets.  I happen to have one sleeping on my couch right now  <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif">  .  And the litter in my basement was sired by a
Topsfield dog.  So -- kudos to Claudia&#39;s very hard work through the years.  I&#39;m proud and honored to have her as a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m excited to report that my skittish Corgi pup (he never read the part in the breed standard about the &quot;bold outlook&quot;), Cody, now 19 months
old, got his Rally Novice Title last night.  He is still unnerved a bit at shows, and tends to freeze in the ring when I&#39;m not talking to him -- hence
we&#39;re not doing obedience right now -- but he does beautifully (if I do say so) in Rally where I CAN talk to him.  He got his title in three consecutive
tries, starting last summer... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Anyone know of any?  My brother and SIL are going down there at the end of the month for the winter because she shows her horse there.  They have a house
rented and are bringing their Aussie, Kobe with them.  My brother is interested in starting agility with Kobe ( 2 years +), but they don&#39;t know anyone in
the dog world there.  Both my brother, Mike and Kobe are rank beginners, but Mike is fairly intense and eager to learn and Kobe is a lovely Aussie.  Because
they are both so new to dog... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Cats make easy to care and relatively inexpensive pets, but they do need basic equipment, food, shelter and a share of loving attention. Choosing a cat as a
pet is a long-term decision in the sense that cats may live for 10 years or more and it involves long term responsibility and commitment. So take your time to
research and consider the options before you decide. ==================================================

			<description><![CDATA[ As you probably guessed, I&#39;m getting snowshoes for Christmas.  But do you prefer the kind with bindings and specific boots, or just the kind that strap on
to your hiking boots?  All recommendations are welcome.  Please remember, I am a huge klutz, if that makes a difference.

Thanks! ]]></description>

			<link>http://familydog.yuku.com/topic/20596/t/Winter-Snowshoeing-Question.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I would love to try skijoring, but I am a hopeless klutz.  Instead I want to try snowshoeing.  DH just started last year and I love the winter weather.  My
question is whether or not this would be a good activity for Oakley and how should we be outfitted with gear.  I know Kei has harnesses for her dogs (as seen
in pictures).  How are they hooked to you?  Do you have a safety clip in case you need to let them loose (don&#39;t know why you would need this, but just in
case).  Any suggestions... ]]></description>

also won 3rd place in his jump height, which is pretty darn good, especially considering that a bunch of the teams in his class already have their elite titles
and are going for their ATCH&#39;s.� Sylvia won 1st place in her veteran&#39;s class of one.� ;)

incorporated. We have very small dues, and just split up the costs of entry fees among the dog owners that are going to each tournament. We are looking into
hosting our own tournament, and the question of taxes came up. We would collect money from teams in the form of entry fees in order to cover the cost of the
