Hi Newf friends! Please come join us for a draft seminar! We welcome any level of person or dog, from those who just want to learn more about draft, to those who want to get a harness on their dog for the first time, to those who have been
doing draft and want to run their dog through a course. Any breed is also welcome to attend. I will be introducing my puppy to draft for the first time at these seminars and we will also have
more experienced draft dogs to demonstrate everything, so you’ll get to watch all levels.
This seminar will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at Wickham Park in Melbourne, FL and will go from 10am until everyone has gotten their fill of draft for the day. The address for the park is 2500 Parkway Dr. Melbourne, FL 32935.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces and introducing new people to this fun dog sport! For anyone who can’t make these seminars and would still like to learn, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Please contact Taylor Vinge at
