Regular readers know this show is my favorite dog-related event of the year, but as with everything else, COVID-19 messed up the schedule as well as eliminating spectators and vendors. In order to still be able to hold the show this year, they moved it outside to Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, and since January in New York isn’t always outside-friendly, they rescheduled for June.
Here’s the way things will happen:

8th Annual Masters Agility Championship
Preliminaries 8:00am – 4:00 pm
Finals Competition 7:00pm – 9:00pm

As a credential holder, I’ll have access to videos and news every day of the show and will bring as much of it to you as possible.
I can’t wait!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
