21.01.2022 BRANCH CLOSURE All Branch Members Based on the advice and stage 2 restrictions released nationally last night, and the future increases on restrictions that are to come in stage 3, I do not want to encourage you to leave the safety of your home or gather no matter how few dogs we train. The GSDCV Management Committee decided to close for training until restrictions are lifted and deemed safe to return.... To the new members and puppy class it is imperative that your companion continues its training. The Branch has a number of excellent video’s on puppy and obedience training which can be lent to you and I would be only too happy to give you advice just contact me by phone or email at any time. May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family the best during these unprecedented times, kept fit and healthy. Kind regards Gordon Cole Branch Manager

11.01.2022 Few snaps from our end of year break-up this morning. Fun morning for the dogs, including musical mats, fish the meat out of the water in the quickest time and our annual egg and spoon race, which Jeff still holds the crown. Even managed to get visitors Pete and Rovem (kelpie) joining in! Followed by a sausage sizzle. The Wodonga Branch Committee would like to wish all our members a safe and happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all again in 2018.
