Our Annual West Highland White Terrier Specialty Show in Perry Georgia is on Sunday, April 13th
at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, Georgia with the Combined Specialty Clubs
of Georgia.
The grooming area will be in the Sheep Barn. This year the show will be in the late

with hospitality during.
The Judges are: Regular Specialty Classes: Fred Bassett

Sunday is not the only day that the Westies will be strutting their stuff. The Conformation shows begin
on Thursday and continue Friday and Saturday leading up to our Specialty on Sunday. We will post the
times Westies will show on these days as well. In addition, there are performance events; Agility, Rally
and Obedience Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Thursday, April 10 - Peggy Haas
Friday, April 11 - Lydia Coleman Hutchinson
Saturday, April 12 - Robert Black
Exhibitor note: All shows Close Wednesday, March 26, 2008!!!
But the attractions don’t stop there. There are flyball competitions that must be seen to believe.
Dogs actually cheer each other on! Then the shopping is the best you can find for your canine friends.
On Friday night we host a hospitality get together in the lobby of the Comfort Inn for all exhibitors,
Members and all Westie friends. On Saturday we will have a dinner with Buffet Stations at the New Perry
Inn, an historical landmark in Perry. Send in your reservations soon! Reservation Form
The typical number of Westies involved in the Specialty competitions is triple from normal shows in
our area so it is a great opportunity to see our breed standard in action. It is also a great time to
meet Westie lovers from all over the country as breeders from as far away as California have attended.
Members should know that agility pre-entries are being taken until 02/28/08. There will be a random
draw for run slots prior to the official closing. They can only accommodate 900 runs per day and they
always run out of slots. If there are slots available after the pre-entry draw, they will be allotted
on a first come first served basis until the officiall closing date. More information and entry forms
on www.atlantakennelclub.org website.
Finally we are always looking for assistance in setting up and cleaning up after the show and events.
So if you think you will be attending let Dana know how you can help.
