Congrats! And it's quite warm all over WI this weekend. I don't think the dogs around here are used to it, the weather has been so erratic. Hope they do well today!

Go there & click on the events tab. It lists all the upcoming events & shows that there are trials in Leesburg on the 31st & 1st :)
My curry comb has short little nibs very close together. It collects a lot of those little hairs and then I just rinse it under running water using a finger nail scrub brush to clean it out. Takes a less then a minute.
