Summer Duggan of Neuman Canine Academy Inc will judge CGC tests. Testing is available to any dog, purebred or mixed breed that wishes to participate. This is a great evaluation often used as a prerequisite for therapy dogs and is now becoming a more common staple for home owners insurance and for apartments and condos to use as a guide for proving your dog is a safe member to society. A great tool used by many breeders and exhibitors alike! Testing will be offered on a first come first serve basis.
