This fun match is for all, not just those that do confirmation. You don’t have to know what to do either. This is a
match for those that show to practice and the rest of us just to have fun with our dogs.
For those that have AKC registered Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes and Samoyeds, they will enter
conformation.
All of those that look purebred Siberian, Malamute or Samoyed that have been rescued or acquired without papers
but have been altered, can enter Conformation Spay/neuter for that breed.
Sled Dog- Sib, Sammy, Mal, and all those in between can enter Sled Dog. All of those that have taken our
wonderful mixes….enter Sled Dog
There are classes for puppies, adults, veterans and champions. We will be happy to help you with which to enter..
You don’t have to know what you are doing, nor does your dog. This is an event that is meant to be fun and
expose all of us to having more fun.
Traveling North on I-680 you would need to exit at Stone
Valley East and turn right at the stop sign. The park will be
on your right hand side about 1.5 miles down the road.
Traveling South on I-680 you would need to take the Stone
Valley Road EAST exit. The park will be on your right
hand side about 1.5 miles down the road.
It is located next to Monte Vista
High School and you may park in the school
parking lot.

Umunhum Runs
We will be having runs this year but will wait til later to decide when. Usually we
do one once a month. With the cleaning up of the base it causes me to not set the
dates far in front because it may be in conflict with something they are doing.
We will camp this summer. Farmers says it will be a hot summer but usually we can
run them late at night and early in the morning.
We may do one in early April I will post to the list the Friday before if it looks like
we can.
I will try to post some posted for the summer next month.
Husky Hikes
Many possible sites to hike were talked about at the meeting.
Marie is going to check some of them out and see what might work for our group.
If you have an idea for an area to hike (especially a beach one) Please drop Marie an email at
[email protected]
Vaccine Clinic
Twice a year BASH hosts a Vaccine Clinic. The vet that does this for us now has a regular
vaccine clinic but she is kind enough to invite BASH members to come by and receive shots,
heartworm tests and microchips at rescue rates. She holds the clinic on the 1 st Saturday of every
month at Springdale Kennels, 520 Giuffrida Ave, San Jose, CA 95123 from 2 pm to 4 pm. All
you need to do when filling out your paper is to say you with BASH. You can also buy flea,
tick and heartworm products (the prices for this is competitive with others) All profits from all
sales to BASH members comes back to BASH
Paw Print Day
Imprint your best friend’s paw print in clay and see it transformed onto an ornament, a
picture frame or stepping stone complete with some nice phrase or just their name.
This is a great way of remembering them when it is their time to cross the rainbow
bridge.
Randee has graciously volunteer her office space for the event! They asked us to give
them 3 days and we can work on it from there.The days we are thinking about are
Friday June 20, Saturday June 21…but not set yet…. So if you are interested in doing
this, check the website or contact Randee at [email protected] for more information.
It works like this….
The artist would come with all the gear and you would press their paws in to the mold.
So if your dogs does not like their paws touched now is the time to get them use to
being touched.
You would sit down with the artist and she would show what are your choices based on
your dog’s paw size.
You would pick out color choices and words to include with your choice.
PLEASE come prepared with your choice of words and have some backup in case
your phrase is too long
Cost of a set of paw prints (2 paws) is $59 and the price of your chosen keepsake
varies from $20 for an ornament to $40+ for a stepping stone/plaque

Olaf is a young adult male husky mix. He is is somewhat unsure of new people, but once he feels
secure he is very affectionate. He walks well on a leash. We think he will fine as a single dog if
there is someone home most of the time or will be ok with another dog to keep him company. He
enjoys cuddling and hanging out with the family. He has done well with medium to large dogs he
has meet. He investigates the cat in the house but he doesn't bother her, you can call him away.
He needs training, but he should learn quickly. He has a sweet, happy personality that is evident
after he warms up. He will do very well with gentle, patient guardian.

Sitka is a beautiful black and silver Siberian husky with big brown eyes.
she likes to cuddle once she gets comfortable with the person she is with. She walks ok on a
leash but needs work. She does fine with other dogs and is a playmate for the dog in my house.
She was an owner surrender because they felt that she and their other dog didn't get along.. She
rides well in the car and loves going places.

Ryder is a very active, but cute young dog. Though listed as a little over a year, he could be
younger or older. He has had some training, but doesn't have a lot of patience for behaving,
and will need more. He has some separation issues, but is working on it, so he might do well
in a home with another active dog.
He is up to date on shots, is micochipped, appears to be potty trained, and takes to a crate
(though he occasionally voices his displeasure).
