South Bay AKC to test well-mannered dogs

By Donna Littlejohn on October 14, 2009 3:42 PM | | Comments (3) |

The South Bay Kennel Club will present an AKC-sanctioned all-breed match and Canine Good Citizen test  Sunday (Oct. 18) at Arthur Johnson Park (formerly South Park), 1200 W. 170th St., Gardena (that's north of Artesia between Normandie and Vermont).

The CGC Program was started in 1989 as a way to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The program stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for all dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. Entry fee is $6.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with judging at 12:30 p.m.

Call Toni Woods, match chair, at 310-323-0811 or email SoBayKC@aol.com.

About the Bloggers

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.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
