Hooves for Healing WETRA | Dressage does not invole making your horse wear clothes....this was one of the many things I learned this weekend at the Hooves for Healing event at Wetra. Performances Saturday and Sunday capped off a busy season. Special thanks to our guests from Michigan that helped us on Staurday. |

Childrens Fest Place Concorde |
A well attended couple of days at the Rotary Chidrens Fest. The handlers and some of the dogs appreciated being next to the Ice Cream stand. The crowd after being entertained by the pooches really got into the meeting of the dogs. |
| Sept 11, 2011 | Leamington Court Seasons Belle River |
Something a little different for our seniors and the dogs...an indoor performance. The rain almost made us cancel but a limited performance was enjoyed by all at Leamington.
In the afternoon, it was a little soggy but manageable by the handlers and the dogs as we finally managed to perform at Belle River. |
Sept 4, 2011 12:00 PM |
Harrow Fair | A Sunday at the fair, what is a better way to kick off September? We got the "cool" day at the fair and had a great crowd that encouraged the dogs in all the demonstrations. |

Tecumseh Corn Fest | Tecumseh Lacosse Park, the last weekend in August, corn, corn and more corn. Must be why they call it the Corn Fest. Three days, three shows with a ton of parents and kids entertained. |
Aug 21, 2011 11:00 AM 1:00 PM |
St. Clair College Alumni Day | St Clair Alumni day brought out two large crowds that were entertained by the dogs. The "pups" behaved with none trying to chase the pony ride animals. |
| Aug 14, 2001 | Seasons Lakeshore La Chaumiere |
Something about Sundays in August I guess. Rained out again at Seasons Lakeshore. In the afternoon the dogs finally got to show their stuff. This set of demos is always marked on the calendatr by the handlers, since a great bbq is held later in the day:) Thanks to Roland and Nicole. |
| Aug 7, 2011 | Special Soccer Stars | Well it had to happen sooner or later. After a string of sunny days we finally got rained out. Didn't dampen the dog's enthusiasm in meeting the soccer players and their parents though. |

Viewpointe Estates Winery | A hot summer afternoon, a view of the lake, some wine, some local cooking and entertainment. For those of you that missed the tour around the lake make sure you get out next time. The dogs enjoyed the ambiance and put on a show for the attendees without any whining:) whatsoever. |
July 23, 2011 6:00 PM |
Lazee G Ranch Shodeo | Horses, a championship riding group, daredevil riding, some great live dance and song performances and of course some dogs. (clowns?... yes there were clowns) An entertaining evening that anyone would enjoy. Even though the horse won the jump off with the dogs and in spite of a little cooling rain, it was a fun night. If you have a chance to attend the next Shodeo, take the time and enjoy the show. |
| July 17, 2001 | Kingsville Court Retirement Home |
A Sunday morning down by the lake with a very receptive crowd for our performance. Our dogs made lots of new friends after a show that was highlighted with two, down to the wire relays. |
| July 14, 2011 | Lakeshore Discovery School | Kids and dogs, what goes together better? |

Essex FunFest |
|
| July 3, 2011 | Banwell Gardens
Heron Terrace |
Every year the Border City Barkers enjoy visiting our "older generation" crowds at their residences. This year is no exception with return visits to the Banwell Gardens and Heron Terrace facilities. The dogs put on two great shows and were rewarded with lots of petting. |
July 1, 2011 |
Amherstburg Ice Cream Festival |
Ice cream and agility...those two things seem to go together. (ask any handler) We celebrated Canada Day at the Amherstburg Ice Cream Festival with a pair of shows. |
| June 26, 2011 | Devonshire Senior's Residence
Seasons Royal Oak Village |
We had an opportunity to perform for and to meet with the residents at Devonshire and the Seasons Royal Oak Village. The dogs seem to know to be on their best behavior so that "grandma" or "grandpa" don't chew them out. Always an enjoyable day by both the crowd, handlers and dogs. |
April 22, 2011 10:00 AM |
Malden Park | The Windsor Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs, held at Malden Park on Friday April 22, 2011. It may have been a little "wet and cold" but our dogs were as enthusiastic as ever. Money raised goes to National Service Dogs. The National Service Dogs' mission is to enrich the quality of life and enhance the independence of children and families living with autism and special needs by providing them with specially trained Labrador and Golden Retrievers.

Devonshire Mall
|
So how did you spend the 2011 March Break? Two large crowds of adults and children spent some of their break watching the Border City Barkers perform two (2) shows at Devenshire Mall. As always these performances were followed by a Meet and Greet with the performers allowing direct interaction with our dogs.
You can see the CBC Windsor report on the event here. |
Start with a pet show, throw in some sunshine, a purple poodle, a dog with a hula skirt and what do you have....a great day at the Essex FunFest. The dogs stayed cool in the "beer tent" before performing for the Pet Show attendees.
