Join us in beautiful Upstate New York this fall!
Close enough for a visit to New York City or Niagara Falls on your way.
Cooperstown, Thousand Islands, Erie Canal, & more!

Upstate New York is a “foodie” destination with Wineries, Craft Breweries, many Farmers Markets and even Wegmans!

The 2016 National is being hosted by the CDCA Board of Directors, Amy Preston, Chair. Due to Rosh Hashanah starting at sundown on Sunday the 2nd, the schedule has been adjusted so that those needing to get home before the holiday may do so.

We will work with the Cluster for Breed ring times that will lessen conflicts with Obedience & Rally. Best of Breed/BOBOH Winners each day will continue to their Groups. THE WINE COUNTRY CIRCUIT offers Obedience, Rally & Junior Showmanship all four days of the circuit and NOHS the first three. Four days of Agility (Host Club - Finger Lakes Kennel Club) with three days including Premiere Classes. CAT tests are hosted by LAKE COUNTRY LURE COURSERS. Health Clinics with Clinicians from Cornell University are offered.

Hotel Options in the area:

  • The Venn Diagram of Hotels in the area that have banquet facilities, allow dogs and are within a reasonable distance of the show site is very, very small.
  • 110% sure you are coming? Pre-book & pre-pay your Host Hotel reservation for the best rate (which may be WELL BELOW the “Block Rate”).
  • Won't know if you can come until the last minute? Block under the Room Block, cancel if needed until much closer to the date of the show.
  • Many other hotels in the area with varying rates; find one you like near a specific attraction or in your hotel network. Just come to the Host Hotel for the Host Hotel Events.
  • Camping? See the next page!

CAMPING AVAILABLE (WITH HOOK UPS) AT SAMPSON STATE PARK, location of the shows and Wednesday meetings. Buses run from the camping loops to the show rings periodically throughout the day. All efforts will be made to coordinate rides to the Host Hotel for those camping on site.

Camping Reservation Form is online: ** WINE COUNTRY CAMPING FORM **. CAMPING RESERVATIONS WILL OPEN TUESDAY, AUGUST 16th. It is recommended you overnight your reservations on Monday the 15th (reservations received early will be returned). Those wishing to camp together should mail their reservations in the same envelope. You must make camping reservations via the Cluster as Reserve America does not book the park during this week.

Read the camping booklet for Health Testing and Vehicle Height Advisory for nearby roads as well as tons of other helpful information.

Getting Started In Herding With Canaan Dogs

You've Been To The CDCA Herding Test, Now What? Presenter: Shelley Wurst
- Host Hotel, Holiday Inn Waterloo/Seneca Fall, Waterloo NY

Meet Shelley Wurst: “I started herding with my first Collie in 1997. A year later, at the Collie Nationals, I was approached and asked to help get other Collie owners started in herding. I have been teaching herding lessons to all herding breeds since. I have successfully competed in AKC, ASCA, AHBA, and ISDS trials, have earned advanced titles and a Herding Championship, and have won High in Trial at the Collie Nationals.
I am now working with my own 6 month old Canaan Dog puppy and his littermates & mother, and would love to see other Canaan Dog owners herding with their dogs beyond the basic instinct levels. This is a breed with a lot of innate ability!” Shelley may be familiar to some already as she has been sharing the training of her puppy on the Facebook page Canaan Dogs Herding.
