What you should know about Waikato Canine Obedience Club
On the 5th December 1974, the Waikato Canine Obedience Club was duly formed. Also, catering for dogs 6 months and over with first and second elementary classes. Edgecumbe Park was training grounds for a while especially during the winter months in the early days with domestic training sessions being held later at Te Rapa Hall. They also ran a specials event, heel on lead with jump, heel free with slalom, recall through A frame, retrieve over a jump.
The 3rd Ribbon Trial was held at Annelise Hamilton’s club founder property at Matangi Road Hamilton with 50 handlers and 72 entries. In 1980, the club purchased agility equipment and started offering agility training to the public. In February 1981, Council gave the club some ground in Te Rapa also gave permission to build a club house. Sandra Holmes and Keith Neilsen dug the trenches and laid cable for the floodlights in the position they are in today.
In February 1985, Bristol Park becomes the permanent grounds of the club and is where we still remain today. Interior walls, ceiling, storeroom and electrical wiring was completed during 1985. The longest standing current member and now life member Mike Draper joined the club with his first dog a German Shepherd called Shaza in 1989. Mike has continued to support the club actively including when he lived in Auckland.
Mike is the second longest Executive member with holding Vice President and President since 1993 for 12 years as well as a number of years as a committee member. Other life members are Annelise Hamilton late , Fred Ferla, Sheila Carkeek, Lou Carkeek, Rose Bowen late , Allan Stretton, Anne Cordiner late , Mary Ellen Bezzant, Sherie Draper currently active , Mike Draper currently active , Olivia Paley currently active and Dannie Jefferies currently active . Sherie Draper is actively involved as Treasurer and Head Trainer since 1992. She is the longest standing Executive member to date with holding Treasurer for over 20 years. Sherie has been the driving force behind the introduction of the training manuals and systems.
In 2007, with increasing interest and a keen committee, the club returned to NZKC in 2008 and held their first ribbon trial in March with great support from our members, local competitors and other clubs. Today, the club is run by an awesome committee of 11 people who are passionate about dogs and helping the public have well mannered obedient pets. The club has continued to grow and with the introduction of systems and training manuals is force to be reckoned with. The club prides itself on being professional, well organised, delivering excellent results
