Canines in Kildee Hall!

Dogs of all breeds could be heard barking this afternoon in the Farm Bureau Pavilion of Kildee Hall.  They were part of a class, AnS 224 Companion Animal Science that is offered every year in the Spring.  Associate Professor of Animal Science, Dr. Matthew Ellinwood, said the students were learning about dog showing and the definitions of conformation, obedience and agility shows and test.  Members of the Cyclone Country Kennel Club, a dog club in Ames that’s been around since the 1960’s, donated their time to help students learn the importance of dog obedience.   Dr. Ellinwood says “This demonstration is integral to companion animal science as the students learn the diversity of breeds, and ways those breeds perform, and impact of the dogs on the lives of their owners.”
