It's time for another gathering of the Toy Fox Terriers. National will be here in 2 weeks. Our entries are nearly the same as last year which is a good thing that they are not sufficiently lower. It is always a week of great camaraderie. A very busy four days are planned with lots of interesting, beneficial, and educational activities being scheduled for the members.

As was approved last year at the National meeting, the idea of opening up the "OPEN Classes" to the four different colors listed in the Breed Standard. A mistake was made at the Superintendent level and was not put in the premium list. Yet, it was listed on the Onofrio web site. BUT, a huge mistake was made as it listed Chocolate and White as a color class. Of course we all know Chocolate and White is a disqualification. They failed to list the White and Tan color. So we will probably not have any entries by color in the open classes this year. But his error certainly brings forth the necessary need to look at the color clarifications when revising the standard which is in conflict with the colors listed on our litter
papers for registering our toy fox terriers.

We really have a lot of informative items scheduled for everyone this year and it is items that will save the owners, breeders, exhibitors, judges, and anyone involved with the breed. I have attached the schedule of such activities for your review.

Be sure and bring your items for the raffle, as the more we get the more dollars can be obtained. Look forward to seeing everyone.
