Big Sky SchH Club Trial

Hello Sportsfriends
Big Sky Schutzhund Club is pleased to announce our “fall” trial for 2009 – August 29 and 30 with USA Craig Groh. We will be doing BHs and most of the SchH/VPG/IPO dogs on Saturday, we’ll have a bbq at our clubhouse, and then do an FH and possibly some SchH 1’s for BHs from Saturday. We’ll finish up with WHs and have some fun. Tracking is on prime agricultural soil carefully maintained as the experimental agronomy farm for Montana State University, currently in summer fallow.

Details and links to an entry form can be found at the “what’s new” page on www.bigskyschutzhund.com.

And Bozeman, MT is just a short 13-hour drive from Olympia, a piddling 6.5 hours from Spokane, and 15 hours from central Oregon!

Best of luck to all the handlers at the regionals next week, and feel free to contact me with questions on our trial!

Warren Jones
President, Big Sky Schutzhund Club

Do you have any idea what the stats for the site might look like?

Hi Yvonne,

The site is listed with Google Analytics... The site, since it opened on 15th December, has had 316 visits from 245 unique visitors. They got there by:

germanshepherddog.com (referral)
202 ... 63.92%
(direct) ((none))
69 ... 21.84%
google (organic)
13 ... 4.11%
pets.groups.yahoo.com (referral)
6 ... 1.90%
webmail.aol.com (referral)
5 ... 1.58%

I think charging a small fee would be appropriate, especially since this
site should be relevant to anyone looking for something local. How would
the placement work?

I think there would be two kinds of ads: one, a business card type ad on the home page, would advertise breeders, businesses, etc. for an annual fee;
the second would be a full page ad for stud dogs, litters, etc., linked to the advertising page, that would be a one time fee and run for a specific period of time, like 30 days.

We could also do pages for regional clubs that don't have websites... that could be free, or a small fee to help with our annual hosting charges...

Who would do the design? Are there any visual/design standards? Any extra cost for design?

I currently have an ad up on the advertising page from Lynn Lewis. Lynn is happy to pay whatever we decide, but I wanted to get it up there now while the news was current and so people could see what a litter ad might look like. Lynn sent the pics and text. I didn't have to do any design except optimize the pics and set up the page... nothing special, took under 10 minutes, so there were no design considerations...

Business card ads would have to be sent in a .jpg, .gif or .png file, making them "website" ready...

Thanks!!! for your comments! It's nice to know someone is out there!

Bylaws / Regionals

To the Pacific Northwest Region

The Regional Bylaws require that the region hold two regional meetings a year, one at the regional championship and one approximately six months later. This past year (2008), we had two regional meetings during the summer. While we could attempt to hold another one in the next couple of months, I doubt we'd get much of a response, what with passes closing, lots of snow on the ground and so on. However, we still have regional business to conduct. Our bylaws do not really provide for "electronic" meetings, but neither do they prohibit them. Sturgis recognizes the usefulness of electronic meetings, and while it takes a somewhat conservative attitude, there is no real reason that we can't try and get some business done by email. The other provisions of the bylaws that seem to apply are that 30 days notice are required for any action (calling a meeting, amending bylaws, etc.), so I will be using a 30-day timeline for any business that normally is conducted by the region in its meetings rather than by the RD alone.

First on the agenda, then, is that we have received a request to host the Regional Championship. I am pleased to announce that GSSC has secured a judge (Lance Collins) and a date (August 15 and 16) and is volunteering to host the championship (stadium still TBA, but several options exist). Since we had no bids in either of the summer's regional meetings, it seems reasonable to allow GSSC to host the event. If your club is interested in hosting the regional championships, let me know ASAP, so that I can notify the region. If no other clubs volunteer within thirty days of the date of this message, I will award the regional championships to GSSC.

Second, we still need a replacement for Lynn Lewis to fill the position of Regional Training Director. Also, we need a club to host our Regional Sieger Show. Anyone and club interested, please contact me A.S.A.P..

Third, Samie Jones from Bozeman Mt., spent her free time in developing, creating and setting up a website for our region. She did a tremendous job and she should be rewarded for her efforts. For the works involved in setting up the website and hosting fee, I am asking the region to reimburse her $118.80 which she paid for out of her family's budget. This covers us for approximately 2 years from the domain hosting of the site. I need all club delegates to send their clubs' approval to me for the regional fund to be expensed for this amount.
