General Membership
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of February, June, and November (our
annual meeting). Our April and September
meetings are a Picnic, and our December meeting is our Annual Christmas Party. We convene for a VERY short meeting so it can
count towards the membership requirement.
Members and non-members are encouraged to attend and to bring some of
their dogs to the Picnics and the Christmas Party.
While we
are essentially a show-giving club, we are expanding our
horizons
to include things of interest to non-show people. We are also working on making other events,
such as Rally, Agility, Earth Dog Trials, and Obedience available to dachshund
lovers all over the state of Arizona
