Dog-OH-Rama’s Second Year

While Summer is simmering on, Fall is fast on its heels. And with it comes our annual Dog-OH-Rama event on Thursday, September 4th through the 7th, 2025. This is a fun fest of various performance events all balled up in one four-day extravaganza. This year’s event will return to Armco Park and include: • Fast CAT • Fetch • Farm Dog • Temperament Testing • Canine Good Citizen • Trick Dog And to keep us and our dogs all fueled for fun, we invited the Barking Burger food truck to cater to both two and four legged appetites. YOUR DOG DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED PUREBRED TO PARTICIPATE! ALL dogs of any pedigree can participate in AKC sports and performance events, to include all of those offered at Dog-OH-Rama! If you want, your unregistered Dog can even earn official AKC titles and certifications, just like their registered purebred cousins. If you are interested in AKC recognition, there are three pathways to achieving credits from Dog-OH-Rama: • If your dog is already an AKC registered purebred, simply apply their registration number to all event entries. • If your dog is purebred but registered with another registry or is not registered at all, you can obtain a Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) number. [Click Here] for more information and to register • .If your dog is a mixed breed, you can enroll your dog in the AKC Canine Partners™ Program. [Click Here] for more information and to enroll. No matter what, ALL dogs are invited to participate in and have a great time at Dog-OH-Rama! So, if you aren’t too worn out from grilling over Labor Day, come spend the next weekend with us for plenty of canine fun and frivolity. [CLICK HERE] for more information.

This Year’s Shows Are In the Books

Our 2025 Conformation Shows capped off 50 years of serving the purebred show community over the last weekend. This included one of the eight Regional National Owner Handler Series (NOHS) events leading up to the National Finals in Orlando, FL, later this year. We also had six Specialties join in on the fun: • Cincinnati Shetland Sheepdog Club • Greater Cincinnati Great Dane Club • Greater Cincinnati Weimaraner Club • Miami Valley Boxer Club • Miami Valley Shetland Sheepdog Club • Siberian Husky Club of Greater Cleveland We held Fetch and Farm Dog events outside to give our exhibitors a little extra to do in between ring times. Thus, it was glorious fun and a good time was had by all. In conclusion, we would like to thank all our exhibitors, judges, vendors, and other participants in making this a truly memorable event. Without you, our club would be without purpose. We also invite you to keep your eye on the website as we begin our planning for this year’s Dog-OH-Rama; a four-day set of performance events held at Armco Park in Lebanon, OH. We hope to see you there in September.

Next Regular Meeting, Wednesday, October 15, 2025

We generally get together on the third Wednesday of every month, and you’re welcome to join us. At this time we’re preparing for our annual conformation shows in Wilmington Ohio at the end of March. Considering there are less than 90 days left before we will present this extravaganza, all or efforts and planning are going into that project. It’s our 50th birthday as a club, so we want to make it all the more special and are pushing our usual business aside to accommodate these last few planning sessions. So, if you’re interested in seeing what goes into one of these events first hand, you’re more than welcome to join us at the next meeting. The location sometimes varies, so check the schedule before hopping in the car. While we hold our meetings in-person, we can also host them online for those who can’t make it. So, check with us for instructions on how to join the fun virtually. Because or live meetings are generally located at commercial eating establishments, we ask that you not bring your dog, unless they’re a service dog, of course. This next meeting will be at: Catch A Fire Pizza 511 North Broadway Lebanon, OH 45036
