Eleven Airedales brought their people to Tendick Park in Saukville, WI, on May 31 for a hike under sunny skies, with lunch and camaraderie afterwards. Thank you to Mike and Craig for managing the lunch, to Pismo and his people for the birthday cupcakes and dog treats, and Pam Lyon for the chocolate chip cookies! It was a wonderful day!

We were having too much fun at the party to take many photos, but here's what we've got!

It was a beautiful fall day for our walk at Lapham Peak State Park on Oct 12, 2024! We had a wonderful group of about 11 dogs and their associated humans who hiked, socialized, ate lunch, enjoyed Airedale cookies from the club, and received doggy goodie bags donated by End of the Leash! Club member Dee Braaksma volunteered her services as an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, and two Airedales earned their Advanced CGC titles! A great time was had by all! Thank you for joining us, everyone! See you at the Spring walk!

There was a phenomenal entry of Airedales from across the country on Saturday, July 27, showing their dogs to Sweepstakes Judge, Carol Scott, and Regular Class Judge, Lydia Hutchinson.

The 2024 grooming seminar was a phenomenal success, with 10 hands-on participants and 5 auditors, plus a couple of volunteers who helped with lunch and clean up. Thank you to Heather for lending us her time and talent, and thank you to Oh Rats! Dog Training for making their facility available to the club. Everyone had a wonderful day of grooming and camaraderie!
