Ring Stewards

Ring Stewards do not mark, or erase anything in the judge's book.  Once the judging is completed; the ring steward returns unused ribbons, and prize money not awarded to the Show Secretary.  The Ring Steward does not take part in any of the judging; they should not discuss anything about the exhibitors or their dogs with the judge.  Ring Stewards do not show the show catalog to the judge.  The Ring Steward also keeps the entrance to the ring clear.

Ring Stewards

Ring Stewards should be familiar with judging procedures and breed classifications.  A good ring steward will take care of the details.  For example the ring steward will assemble the classes in a timely manner, this keeps the judging schedule on time and helps to avoid delays.  The ring steward lets the judge know when all the dogs for a class are in the ring; it is also their responsibility to let the judge know of dogs that are absent.

Hazards For Pets During Winter

Many enjoy coffee and chocolate no matter what time of year; both are very dangerous for our pets to ingest.  Chocolate even in small amounts can be deadly for our pets; seizures are also a nasty side effect related to chocolate.  The caffeine in coffee can cause seizures, abnormal heartbeat, and death as well.  So let's all be sure to keep coffee and chocolate away from our pets. 

Hazards For Pets During Winter

Your car engine may be a warm and inviting place for a cat or outdoor creature seeking a warm place.  If you leave your vehicle parked outdoors cats and other creatures have easy access to the engine area.  So before starting up the engine; make some noise so that they will leave the area.
