Meet other Italian Greyhounds at The Leesburg Canine Country Club, Loudoun's off-leash social club for dog lovers & their best friends. The Club is hosted by a 26-acre private park (Falcon Ridge Recreation Center), which is 2 miles to Brambleton/Ashburn, 10 miles to Sterling with 10 acres of fenced dog-friendly areas: 5 & 4 acres for large; 0.50 acre for small; and lighted agility arena.

The pen will be ours alone on Saturday, November 7th, 1:00-3:00pm. Well-behaved neutered/spayed iggies can stay until dark. Food is fine as long as it is outside the pens. (The owners can lend a grill.)

Rabies tag should be on each dog or with their handler.

Dogs must be dog-friendly. PARENTS OF INTACT DOGS MUST CALL AHEAD!

Cost: $6 for the first dog in the family, and then $3 for each additional dog in the family

WHAT TO BRING:
1. No retractable leashes
2. Make sure all dogs are up to par with their shots and aren't sick!
3. You are welcome to bring snacks -- human and dog snacks, but this is not required
4. Bug spray if you want
5. Lawn chairs, if you like
6. YOU AND YOUR IGGY FOR A GOOD SUMMER AFTERNOON

For more information and prior to your visit, please review FRRC Rules, FAQs, and directions at: http://www.leesburgcaninecountryclub.com. Children 8 years old and up are welcome!

We’ll be joining the Yahoo Groups IG Playdate Club at Strawberry Hill Farm in Maryland on September 6th from 11:00am to 2:30pm.

We are planning a wonderful picnic with everyone bringing a dish to share.

Please be sure to RSVP!!

The plan is to let the dogs run some energy off in the agility area and then try the lure coursing after that. Then we have a rest period with lunch and snacks and then back out to the agility area again.

If you have not been with your pups, you are truly missing out!

EVENT COST
The cost is $10 per dog for each of the first two dogs. Then, for
the third or more dogs, the cost is $5 each, so for two dogs, it is
$20, and for three, it is $25.
