2 California Here I Come!

To All ACD Lovers: Welcome to the 37th annual ACDCA National Specialty! We are

looking forward to a unique and fun-filled week of everything cattle dog, with friends, new and old. Over time, we and our amazing dogs have faced and overcome many obstacles. But 2020 has been particularly challenging. Versatile. Adaptive. Resilient. We carry on, safely,—Cattle Dog Strong!

The Gold Coast Australian Cattle Dog Club and other members of the ACDCA community, have worked extra hard to produce this specialty. Our committee members, and many others, have volunteered “behind the scenes” and spent countless hours to make this National safe and enjoyable.

The pandemic certainly creates special challenges, but we plan and persevere with new safety protocols, consistent with relevant AKC, state and local guidelines. We are looking forward to a friendly event with diverse activities that reflect the range of interests of ACD lovers.

Our events are scheduled between Saturday, September 12th and Friday, September 18th (see the schedule on page 5). In addition to our AKC trials and shows, we will feature our popular events like Dingo Bingo and some new activities! These include dock diving and barn hunt, presented by two partner organizations, and four all-breed herding trials (with priority entry to ACD’s). This year’s agility trials are all-breed also with priority to ACD’s. For updated information, please check out our website: https://www.acdca.org/2020-national-specialty/.

We also hope you have a chance to visit the historic town of Red Bluff, the “Victorian City on the River” -- the county seat of Tehama. The local community has been very supportive of our events. Let’s pay it forward!

I hope you are all saying, “California Here I Come” and planning to join us in Red Bluff. See you there!

Welcome One and All! Alexis Kurowski & Kelly Nichols, Co-Chairs National Specialty Convention Coordinators

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS The ACDCA will have the run of the Tehama Fairgrounds during our National Specialty.

As a relatively small National Specialty, having the run of the grounds will allow us to spread out.

We will follow state, local, AKC and facility guidelines that apply to our event site. These may include:

• Practicing social distancing consistent with guidelines in effect at the time of the event.

• Holding events out-of-doors or in large buildings with open doors, whenever possible.

• Spacing out seating and grooming areas and prohibiting forced air blowers indoors.

• Enlarging rings to accommodate social distancing. • Requiring face coverings/masks when in proximity to others. • Providing face coverings/masks for officials, judges and volunteers. • Encouraging frequent hand washing and providing hand sanitizer. • Having disinfecting spray at the events and in bathroom

facilities for high-touch surfaces. Disinfecting surfaces in common-use areas often.

• Encouraging “virtual” greetings and discouraging unnecessary physical contact.

• Recommending that attendees avoid touching dogs that are not their responsibility.

• Minimizing common use items unless disinfected or hand coverings are provided.

Upon entry, the Tehama Fairgrounds (30th DAA) will require attendees to sign a COVID19 waiver
