With permission from the American Kennel Club, the Schooley's Mountain Kennel Club will hold their 34th Annual Point Show, abiding by the rules and regulations of the AKC.



This is a pre-entered dog show, where 14 American Kennel Club judges will select purebred dogs that will ultimately compete for best of show.



There will be over 1200 dogs in attendance, in 136 different breeds and varieties, including dogs in obedience and rally.



Not sure what Rally is? Rally is a sports in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the Rally judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations(10-20, depending on the level). each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. The team of dog and handler moves continuously at a brisk, but normal, pace with the dog under control at the handler's left side.



Not sure what goes on with Obedience Trial's? Today’s obedience competitions begin with exercises that attest to the dog’s good manners – walking on a leash at the owner’s side, standing to be touched by a stranger, sitting and lying down with distractions, and coming when called. Advanced classes prove the owner’s ability to train the dog to do a variety of ‘tricks’: fetching a dumbbell, jumping different obstacles, obeying commands in an instant whether given by hand signal or voice, and finding items touched by the owner. The goal is to create a working team, a partnership with both human and canine working in sync.
