BUR OAK CLUB TRIAL JUNE 27, 2009
Bur Oak hosted a very successful Club Trial at Gridley Field on June 27, 2009 with SV Judge Juergen Hess.
Due to the heat and high temperatures, the club had to cancel the AD, but we had two SchH1 entries, one SchH3 entry, four BH entries, one FH entry, and one TR1 entry.
We would like to congratulate all of the participants on their achievements of the weekend, but particularly the following club members and their dogs:
TAWNY WAGNER and her dog ROCCO ("Rocco Vom Haus Kuhn") who earned another successful TR1 title!
JOE BARRY (handler Petra Raffel) and his dog HANA ("Shooting Star Hana") who earned their BH title!
KATHLEEN SANDERSON and her dog CARTER ("Sentras Learned Hand") who earned their SchH1 title!
Please check the Past Events page for more information on the event and photos!!

Objectives of the Club: To encourage and promote training of purebred German Shepherd Dogs and other desirable breeds, such as Rottweilers, Dobermans and Belgian Malinois. Further objectives include doing everything possible to bring the natural qualities of said breeds to perfection in the service of our community and mankind.
About Us: The club was formed January 12, 2003 and is not-for-profit. Diverse founding members include several breeding kennels, and expert through novice proponents of all three phases of Schutzhund training and competition (tracking, obedience and protection work).
Other key interests of the club involve conformation and ring training.
All members are part of the GSDCA-WDA and the club is WDA affiliated.
TRAINING UPDATE:
Tracking will begin at 7:30 am at the field each Sunday for all of the newbies! Obedience will occur simultaneously, starting at 8:00 am.
From 10:00-10:30 am each Sunday we will have a "Sits and Downs" training session where we work on various distractions while maintaining group sits and downs.
If you are a guest trainer who would like to come out on a specific weekend and are unsure of the schedule, please email the webmaster at website@buroakhundesport.com
