We tried again on 9/4/21 & 9/5/21 in Kingsburg, CA. Our Judges were Shannon Emmans, Myself & Ken O’Brien replacing Michelle Black-Owl Chavez, Abbie Longoria & Sharlene Craig replacing Lynn Martin, Katherine Short & Cynthia Sanders. Thank you to all our judges and exhibitors. We thought we would get a much bigger entry but if memory serves correctly, we had about the same entry as the small show in my backyard in Vallejo. This time our prizes were more affordable as we awarded discount cards towards entries to future shows. We didn’t really lose more money, but we didn’t make up for our losses for our Vallejo shows.

Still in the hole days before entries close for our Lodi Year End/Beginning shows 12/30/21 thru 1/2/22. This show was a make or break for us. All the way up to 12/17/21 we had under 50 entries and our expenses were through the roof. I was starting to panic and just knew I was going to end up eating all the expenses for this show as well and it would be our last attempt to bring the club back. My heart was broken, and I again felt the defeat that caused us to stop hosting shows so many years ago. I just knew we would fail again. Then between 12/17/21 and 12/20/21 a miracle happened. We picked up over 100 entries in 4 days. I couldn’t believe it. My prayers were answered, and we were going to be OK. Our club will survive, and we will host again. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES, without you all we simply wouldn’t be. We are so grateful and appreciative of each one of you. Not only did we have our biggest entry ever, but we also had 8 shows in 4 days. The shows ran smoothly with only a few hiccups during the show, and I think for the most part our exhibitors were happy. We want to thank our amazing judges Robert Robinson, Cynthia Sanders, Karyn Myers, Alan Kranek, Janet Williams, Katherine Short, Lani McKennon & Arlene Grimes. All our judges had at least 130 dogs to judge, some over 140 after taking absences into consideration. It’s been our experience when going to UKC shows, when the entries are huge, you’re still showing well into the night. Sometimes 9pm or later. I am happy to say that we were done before 6:49pm each day. This was huge. We fully expected to still be showing at 9pm. We were prepared but thankful when we were done much earlier. Also, we were blown away by the support after the fact. We had a handful of people that stayed Sunday after the shows and helped us pack up and clean and pull all the sticky floor film and tape off the floor. Clean and scrub the bathrooms and sweep. They even went out and purchased a broom, mop & bucket to help us. Completely blown away. Those of you that stayed and helped. Thank you so very much. After the cleaning the club supplied pizza for everybody that stayed and helped. We also had a meeting with them to discuss the club and membership as we had several people from many different breeds that asked about joining our club. Please visit our Members Page for info about becoming a member. If you don't want to be a member but want to help support our efforts you can donate to our cause by sending us donations via PayPal to westcoastboxerclub@yahoo.com and if you can't donate financially, we can certainly use help at our shows. We will need help setting up and tearing down the rings and tables. We will need experienced ring stewards to help us run our rings smoothly when we host our events. We could use raffle donations too. We pay our Rings Stewards $50.00 per day if they Steward All Day & also provide them lunch. We will pay up to 2 experienced Ring Stewards per day. Who wants to help???
After all these shows from Vallejo thru Lodi we have learned some things and will have to make some changes. Some of you will not be happy. Others will.
1) It was brought to our attention that some of you had AKC hired handlers handling for you at our show (whether paid or not at our shows) THIS IS NOT ALLOWED in UKC. We want you and your dogs at our shows, leave your handlers at the AKC shows. There are plenty of people at UKC shows with free hands willing to help fellow exhibitors. Your handlers AREN’T welcome and will be reported if this happens again. No exceptions!
2) Some of you were not aware that grooming in the ring is not allowed, you’re not even allowed to bring a comb in the ring. You're lucky the judges did not see you because you would have been excused.
3) Bait is barely allowed, and you certainly aren’t allowed to throw it or even accidently drop it. You can be excused for this too.
4) I know we told everybody that was there that there would be no grooming inside the building. I was very disappointed to see that we had so many people ignore this and groom anyway. At our future shows this will not be tolerated. It was us that had to clean up after you. We swept up all your fur clippings and brushed out coats from the floor. Grooming tables will no longer even be allowed in the building again. There are plenty of spaces outside to set up grooming tables and even plug in your blow dryers. The building is not that place.
5) Also, we appreciate that you brought your boy dogs. We love them. We don’t love their pee. Please don’t allow your boys to pee anywhere in or on the building. That’s rude and unacceptable. Somebody must clean that up. It’s not OK. Many people were seen leading their boys to the door frame at the entrance of the building to relieve themselves. Not cool, Not Cool At All!!!!!
6) Don’t even get me started on parking. The only people that are allowed to park inside (past the Chain Link fence are our judges, crew and RVs that paid to do so. In the future, anybody without a parking pass will be asked to move or get towed. Further, those that paid for RV’s can park RVs, which does not include 1, 3, 5 or more tagalongs. In the future You will be charged $10 weekend per tagalong, and it must fit in your 40x20 space or you will have to get another space. The space just outside the door between the 2 RV’s is reserved for Judges and Boxer Crew.
7) Last but certainly not least.... Unfortunately, there were quite a few people who were sick after the Lodi Shows. Some just had colds and tested negative for covid while others had very mild symptoms but tested positive for Covid (omicron) virus. It was just brought to my attention that 1 woman, her husband and their mom got Covid pretty bad and are currently still in the hospital. We are praying they recover soon and will be Okay. Thankfully pretty much all others (that I know of) had mild symptoms. Let’s hope we do better at the next show and that nobody gets sick. Like this show, we will have hand sanitizer on the ring steward and armband tables as well as masks available. It will be up to you and the judges to wear them. We will not police you.
Finally, a HUGE CONGRATS to the following winners of our Fabulous Awards from this show and again a HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OUR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES.
