October 2010 will be an important milestone for the organization. Yes, PAAPP will be 10 years 'young' and we will be celebrating PAAPP's 10th year anniversary in December 2010. To commemorate the association's 10th year anniversary, we have planned the following additional trophies and awards for our members to work towards-

1. Grand Masters and Masters Handlers Cup

2. Agility Dog of the Year for Maxi, Mini and Toy categories.

We also hope to invite judges from ADAA (Agility Dog Association of Australia, Inc) to judge the agility trials in December 2010.

The PAAPP's Agility Judges training and Certification program conducted in conjunction with the ADAA Inc (Agility Dog Association of Australia) is confirmed from September 18th (Friday) to September 22nd (Tuesday). 7 participants have confirmed their attendance. If anyone still interested to join in, please contact Sue (012-4015882) before end of May, as seats are limited to maximum of 10. As mentioned earlier, if you are not interested to sit for the examination but would like to come learn about agility course building and improving your handling skills, you are most welcome to join in.
