Carpooling Recommended!
I-80 to Dixon Ave. exit; Right on W Dixon Ave. to N
Meridian Rd. Right on Meridian & first left on
Allendale Rd. Continue to end of the road but use
caution in the area of I-505 where other drivers
often fail to make complete stops! Left on Timm Rd
where you see the Timm Ranch sign and continue
to intersection with Peaceful Glen Rd. Turn right
and go about 1-1/4 mi to the 2nd road on your left,
Dove Creek Trail. First corner on the left where the
mailboxes are is Shady Creek and you take the first
drive on the left.
If it has NOT been raining (though we’ll take any
rain we can!) you can park on the side of the drive;
but, if it’s been wet, only park on the
blacktop!
You do NOT have to be receiving an award to
come… It is a potluck; so, appetizers, veggies,
salads, and desserts are welcome.

In Memoriam
“Inside the Ropes”
“Jamaica”
Kathy Souza –“Jack” (PWD) passed his Anise
Odor Recognition Test in Novato January 18. “Now
I have 2 Anise sniffers.”
Melody Tate - On Saturday of the Golden Gate
Kennel Club show weekend “Casey,”
Ch Windrift’s Cashing Out (Keeshond), was
beautifully handled by our own Tiffany Stutzke to a
breed win over his grand champion cousin, Moby.
He didn’t place in group, but wowed the crowd by
showing that a beautiful dog could actually enjoy
itself in the ring.
Jade Tree Penway Jamaica
Oct 4, 2000 - Jan 13, 2015
“Moby,” GCH Windrift’s Mo Money (Keeshond),
received a Group 4 on Sunday of the Golden Gate
Kennel Club show week-end. While I know it’s old
hat for a lot of folks, it’s Moby’s first group
placement…. and mine, too, for that matter!
“I had to say goodbye to Jamaica on Jan 13.
Jamaica was Best Puppy at the Golden Gate
Pembroke Welsh Corgi Fanciers, Inc., specialty
show in May, 2001. She ruled with the velvet
paw and was a huge fan of Pup-peroni.
“Outside the Ropes”
Here's a photo from December. She loved to
snooze on her favorite dogpad.”
Tonya Berger - Just that “Mya” (Ausie) is the best
puppy ever, but I guess that doesn't count!
[Ed. Sure it does! See below]
