The Sirius Working Dog Association
Since 2003, we, Ron and Tammy Murray, have maintained our club; The Sirius Working Dog Association. This club is a member of the DVG; an all breed (including mixed breeds) organization promoting the sport of IGP (commonly known as IPO/Schutzhund). We are a small club, and we like it that way, but if you are driven to train your dog, help other members, promote the sport and the training philosophies found here, then you’re for us! Contact us at swda@leidenschaftkennels.ca for details on our training days, costs, etc.

Upcoming Events:
October 1 & 2, 2022: The Sirius Working Dog Association’s fall trial with Judge Lisa Little.
July 1-3, 2022: Seminar with Benoît Maye. Club members only.
October/November 2021: Our fall trial was originally set for Thanksgiving weekend, but the NB gov’t shut that week down due to Covid. We managed to save our judge’s flight and rebook her for late November. We went ahead, but we lost a lot of momentum after the super short notice cancellation.
UPDATE: Our October 2020 trial is cancelled due to Covid, and the self isolation rules for anyone entering the “Atlantic Bubble”. We are hoping to host a one day trial in October 2020, entries and Covid conditions permitting. Stay tuned for updates.
