Location:  White Post Restorations400 White Post RoadWhite Post, VA 22663​

Several ATCMW members have expressed interest in entering fun runs at a FastCAT trial at White Post, VA on November 24. There is no need to register your dog in advance for these fun runs, nor do you have to provide  AKC registration numbers. You just have to show up with your dog and try it out to see if the dog has an aptitude for the sport. It only costs $5 per run to be paid onsite, maximum of two runs per dog.  ​FastCAT is a sport where a dog chases a lure over a 100 yard straight course. The course is fenced and requires someone to release the dog and another person to catch it. Bill Nelson can be reached at btaire1516@gmail.com to answer your questions about the fun runs. He is also entered with his dog Alex and can be available if you need a second person to release or catch your dog. ​If you can't make the fun run on November 24, there will be fun runs starting at 2:00 pm on November 25 and 26.

December 2, 2017 Old Town Alexandria

For the 47th consecutive year, The Campagna Center is presenting its annual

Scottish Christmas Walk Parade in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia on Saturday,

December 2, 2017 starting at 11:00 AM. All members and their Airedales are

invited to come march with the Airedale Terrier Club of Metropolitan Washington,

DC. Even if you are just an Airedale supporter and fan, please come and support

our beloved dogs. Enjoy marching units filled with the magnificent tartans of

Scottish Clans, the stirring sound of Scottish bagpipes and drums, Scottish dancers,

reenactment groups, Scottie dogs, dignitaries, classic cars, Santa Claus, and much

more. The parade begins at St. Asaph and Wolfe Streets and concludes at Market

Square with a massed band concert. The parade will take place rain or shine. We

will provide more details on specifically where and when we will assemble when we

get closer to the event. Please direct any questions to club member Wilder Leavitt

at wilderleavitt@gmail.com.

Where all the breeds originating in the British Isles are invited to participate. It is a great chance for your Airedale to strut its stuff, do a few tricks, get pats from kids, and inspect open bags along the parade route. Several years ago, the parade organizers put us next to the Scotties. Lots of discussions among the canines as to which was the finer breed. We won’t be next to them again. ( View Parade Route )

Airedales and the handlers will assemble in the 400 block of South Pitt Street between Wolfe Street and Wilkes Street. The parade steps off at 11:00, but we encourage early, perhaps by 10:00, because parking tends to fill up early. The parade route map that also includes the location parking lots.
