General Information
This year we expect our
Second Annual Washington Fila Weekend to be even better then last
year's. We have more activities planned for all ages of both people and
dogs. We will have educational seminars as well as a mock dog show for
you and your dog to enter. Fun will be had by everyone. And at the end
of the day you are more than welcome to sit back, relax and share
stories of the day's events. We are certain there will be plenty of
socializing to be had!
This schedule is subject to change due to the weather but we
will have fun come rain or shine! Children are welcome
however it will be your job to ensure their saftey and restrict their
access to the dogs and/or any unsafe situation. We will not
provide babysitting. Dogs must be leashed or crated at all times.
Uncontrolled or unattended dogs or children will be removed from the
premesis for the safety of all concerned.
This
year we will hold the Second Annual Washington Fila
Weekend at 3104 Stanton Rd., Yakima, WA, 98903 which is a
small farm. For directions to the farm, please go to www.mapquest.com and
simply type in the aforementioned address. Not only will we will
many events set up on location but we have plenty of room for campers
and an area that is totally fenced. There will also be an
enclosed and fenced area for people (one family at a time) to take
their dogs to let them loose, play and blow off a little bit of steam.
This is basically a Cattle pen, which will also be doubling as our
agility course. For more information on the schedule, please click on

FINE PRINT:
YOU are responsible for your dog, including ANY damage the dog does to
people or property. This includes other animals so make sure your home
owner's insurance is current and whatever you do DO NOT LET YOUR DOG
BITE ANYONE! It would not hurt to avoid letting them destroy the
farm's property as well! EVERYONE who is participating MUST sign a
release form onsite shortly after arrival. SAFETY IS OUR FOREMOST
CONCERN AT THIS EVENT.
Jill and her fila River Saturday morning. We had a short meeting before we decided to go explore.
All dogs
brought to this event must be current on all vaccinations, as well as
free of fleas and parasites. It is not recommended to bringing
puppies under 12 weeks of age or unvaccinated puppies due to the
extensive exposure to other dogs, and you risk the health of
your dog in such case. But it is your call.
There are camping and RV spots on site, Please contact Trisha Porter
ahead of time to reserve a space. We do not have hookups but we can
provide water fillup, but no sewer or electricity. However for
the RV people there is a dump station in Yakima that is free if
you need to use it on your way out of town we can give you
directions. And for you campers, we will have a bathroom and water
available for you.
There
are also a few local hotels in the area that do take pets. Some are
further away then others depending on how much you want to travel
during the day.
They are as follows:
All star Hotel- 45+ Tax. They do take dogs. And they are about 20 min away.
Days Inn- They do also take pets and are about 20 min away.
Qualty Inn- They also take pets and it is
$100 for the weekend. They how ever do have to have you on the bottom
floor.
**** Also for those of you who are
going to be staying in a hotel and do not want to take your dogs we
have provided an area in a building on the property that you
can set up your crates, and the dogs are welcome to stay
there over night as long as your crates are secure enough the dogs can
not get out of their crates. ****
If you are
intersted in doing such please contact me and i will give you the
contact information for the hotel. For those of you who do want to stay
in a hotel and do not want to take your pets with you we will be
providing space in one of our out buildings to set up crates at night
