Colleen Grady has kindly agreed to speak about OES Structure and Breed Standard. We'll have the opportunity to go over different dogs to better understand what judges will be looking for. Whether you show or not, it's good to know about your dog's structure and why it is the way it is.

Bring your pup and grooming supplies. Get advice from long-time experts. Learn to better groom your OES.

Get information on these tests as Nancy McGrath and others explain what is required to get those letters at the back of your dog's name.

Based on the first letter of your last name, please bring the following items:
A to G -- please bring a side dish or salad
