Spokane Dog Fanciers Fun Matches
Obedience and Rally Fun Matches are held in conjunction with our local Sheltie Club and Collie Club on a Sunday in January, February, and March. The matches are held indoors at Spokane Dog Training Club. We always need more workers. Even if obedience is not your sport of choice, please help out for a couple of hours to support your club.
