MSDA Summer Pool Party 2021

Saturday, July 24 2021
10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Dickerson, MD
Hosted by Alex and Steve Roth

This event was for MSDA club members, their families, and their guests. Dogs, too, of course!

The pool was open all day and dogs enjoyed retrieving as well as just swimming for fun. There also were a lot of interesting smells to investigate on the property, informal field training opportunities, and some great games of chase, especially among the youngest pups.

MSDA provided grilled hamburger & chicken and cold non-alcoholic drinks. Attendees brought side dishes and desserts to share for lunch.

The Maryland Sporting Dog Association (MSDA) is a group of dog owners and friends working for the good of all dogs, but especially sporting dogs. We endeavor to rise above our human weaknesses for the sake of our canine companions and put our best efforts toward furthering the advancement of sporting breeds, to protect and advance the interests of sporting dogs and sporting dog activities, to conduct sporting dog events, and to encourage sportsmanlike behavior in all situations.

MSDA was first organized in 1974. Through the years we have hosted conformation shows, obedience trials, hunt tests, field trials, training sessions, and social events. We also participate in regional outreach activities and fund raising.
