Dog obedience match in Lomita
The Lomita Obedience Training Club is hositng their annual Obedience, Rally and Conformation Match on Sunday, April 25 at Lomita Park.
What is such a thing? Well, according to the aptly named Diane Bassett...
For those who aren't familiar with a "match", it's like a practice session that simulates a real dog show competition (in both obedience, rally and in conformation). People who think they may be interested in competing in these categories in a dog show are invited to come out and give it a try in an inexpensive, less pressured environment where you can let your dog get used to the feel of a dog show. Anyone who is interested in dog training or dog showing is also welcome to come out and watch. It will be a lot of fun and mixed breed dogs are welcome to participate too (in obedience and rally). No points toward official titles are won at these events, this is for fun and practice only.
The event opens at 8 a.m., with classes and other events continuing until noon.
Awards will be given!
The park is at 24428 Eshelman Ave. If you want more details, visit their Web site aqui.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
