TTCA Education ProgramsMonday, May 27, 2019

6-8:30 p.m.Nosework Seminar with Sue McKinney

Scent Work celebrates the joy of sniffing and asks a dog to sniff to their heart’s content, turning your Tibetan's favorite activity into a rewarding game. The sport ofScent Work is based on the work of professional detection dogs (such as drug dogs),employed by humans to detect a wide variety of scents and substances. The ownerdoesn't have control in this dog sport. When the hide is hidden the owner has to relyon the dog and the dog’s nose to succeed. There are four odors: Birch, Anise, Cloveand Cypress. Cotton swabs with an odor are hidden out of sight in a pre-determinedsearch area, and the dog has to find them. Teamwork is necessary; when the dog findsthe scent, he has to communicate the find to the owner, who calls it out to the judgewith Alert.

Ten teams will actively participate while the rest will observe and learn. The cost for theSeminar is $20 for active participation and FREE for observers. Participating teams willbe selected on a first received basis so mail your registration form with your checkmade payable to TTCA to:

TTCA’s annual formal affair encourages attendees to dress in cocktail attire inspired bya Pajama Party.Continuing on the momentum of last year’s celebration, we selected the Brunch menuoffered by the Regency chefs giving us the idea for a Pajama Party inspired theme.Think silk pant suits, chiffon ruffles, smoking jackets, shawl collars and animal prints for the risqué. Remember, the Top 20 is a formal affair.

The Evening’s Menu will consist of: Fruit and Cheese table complimented by a Farmers Market cruite

during a cash bar cocktail hour.Brunch Buffet of the standards of eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes

will be enhanced with entrees of chicken piccata and pork tenderloin as well as garden salad and vegetable medley.Desert will be offered along with coffee, tea, juice and soft drinks.

Judging will remain in same format as last year with the hands on inspection doneprior in private allowing judges more time to evaluate our breed’s top winners. Movement evaluation will occur in show ring with dinner tables set around creating adequate space for movement and structure evaluation.Cost: $41. Make your selection on the Meal order form.
