This is a terrific chance to learn about IGs, and to see tons of IGs at one time. To celebrate our rescue dogs, proud owners of rescued IGs get to participate in a parade. Click HERE
to see photos from the Millenium Rescue Parade.
This year's national was, as usual, an exciting, fun event with more IGs that you could shake a stick at. Next year, why not make the trip to Canfield, and take advantage of this unrivaled opportunity to learn all about our wonderful breed?
OCTOBER 2002
The Fourteenth Annual Wisconsin Dog Fair
The Dog Fair in 2001 was a big success as usual. Although we were unable to have a resuce booth this year, Pat and Roger brought Avanti and foster Marla to officially represent IGs. They got to meet and greet hundreds of people, and Avanti was our breed rep in the Parade of Breeds. It was a lot of hard work, but Pat and Roger did a great job educating the public!
Next year, make the trip to Madison and join us!
