We would like to invite you to join the Graslendi (Grasslands) Icelandic Sheepdog Chapter,
currently encompassing the Mid-Western USA. Here we hope to provide area Icelandic
Sheepdog owners with a network of fun like minded folks to organize to meet, compete and
promote this fabulous breed.

Events such as informal gatherings, meet the breed events, fun matches and the eventual
AKC/CKC sponsored conformation, obedience, rally and agility matches will be planned.
These events are not just geared towards the performance dog or the show dog but also our
wonderful pets. Many activities will be planned so all dogs will be included regardless of
whether they are altered or intact or level of obedience skills for fun for the whole family.

Membership:  Any Icelandic Sheepdog owner who is a member of the ISAA in good standing
is welcome to join. There is a $10.00 annual fee per household which include a quarterly
e-newsletter, discounted entry fees. The GISC adheres to the bylaws and code of ethics of
the ISAA.

If you would like to join the Graslendi Icelandic Sheepdog Chapter please contact DeDe
Mantock who is co-ordinating these efforts at e-mail

Badger Kennel Club's Annual Dog Fair

Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center

BKC's Dog Fair is a one day, educational event during which the many  aspects of pet
ownership are addressed in a variety of ways. There  are demonstrations of organized
activities that people can do with  their dogs including obedience training, agility and puppy
programs,  as well as many others. There are seminars throughout the day that  cover topics
of interest to, not only those who already own dogs, but  those people who are planning on
becoming pet owners in the future.  The many vendor booths offer items that people can
purchase for their  pets as well as information on rescue groups in the Madison area. In  
addition, there are representatives of approximately 150 different  breeds that are there to
inform the many visitors of all the qualities of their particular breed.
