We are very fortunate to have our specialty in the heart of New England in the fall of the season. The Sturbridge Host Hotel and Conference Center is located on scenic Cedar Lake. The hotel and all of the staff are dog show knowledgeable and super friendly. There are walking paths and lots of grass area. Many of the rooms have a lake view and many open out onto the back lawn where we will hold our Agility Trial for Siberian Huskies only, 4 – 6 month Puppy Competition and our first ever Sled Dog Sweepstakes. In addition, we will be holding a Top 20 Competition, a Rig Race and a 5 mile Working Pack Dog Hike. There will be many more events and activities offered. We promise you will not be bored. There is indoor grooming as well as outdoor grooming under a large enclosed tent located on the back lawn. You will also have the ability to set up and work out of your vehicle. There are 2 pre host show specialties on the side lawn of the show hotel. Both will have Obedience and Rally Trials indoors. Connecticut Valley SHC will hold its show on Saturday Oct. 1, and Garden State SHC will hold its show on Sunday Oct. 2. Our entire 2016 National Committee welcomes you to our show.
