To All ACD Lovers:
   Welcome to the 37th annual ACDCA National Specialty! We are
looking forward to a unique and fun-filled week of everything cattle
dog, with friends, new and old.
   Over time, we and our amazing dogs have faced and overcome
many obstacles. But 2020 has been particularly challenging. Versatile.
Adaptive. Resilient. We carry on, safely,—Cattle Dog Strong!
   The Gold Coast Australian Cattle Dog Club and other members of
the ACDCA community, have worked extra hard to produce this
specialty. Our committee members, and many others, have volunteered
“behind the scenes” and spent countless hours to make this National
safe and enjoyable.
    The pandemic certainly creates special challenges, but we plan and
persevere with new safety protocols, consistent with relevant AKC,
state and local guidelines. We are looking forward to a friendly event
with diverse activities that reflect the range of interests of ACD lovers.
          Our events are scheduled between Saturday, September 12th
and Friday, September 18th (see the schedule on page 5). In addition
to our AKC trials and shows, we will feature our popular events like
Dingo Bingo and some new activities! These include dock diving and
barn hunt, presented by two partner organizations, and four all-breed
herding trials (with priority entry to ACD’s). This year’s agility trials are
all-breed also with priority to ACD’s. For updated information, please
check out our website: https://www.acdca.org/2020-national-
specialty/.
    We also hope you have a chance to visit the historic town of Red
Bluff, the “Victorian City on the River” -- the county seat of Tehama.
The local community has been very supportive of our events. Let’s pay
it forward!
         I hope you are all saying, “California Here I Come” and
planning to join us in Red Bluff. See you there!
                              Welcome One and All!

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
The ACDCA will have the run of the Tehama Fairgrounds during our
National Specialty.

As a relatively small National Specialty, having the run of the
grounds will allow us to spread out.

We will follow state, local, AKC and facility guidelines that apply to
our event site. These may include:

• Practicing social distancing consistent with guidelines in effect
  at the time of the event.
• Holding events out-of-doors or in large buildings with open
  doors, whenever possible.
• Spacing out seating and grooming areas and prohibiting forced
  air blowers indoors.
• Enlarging rings to accommodate social distancing.
• Requiring face coverings/masks when in proximity to others.
• Providing face coverings/masks for officials, judges and volunteers.
• Encouraging frequent hand washing and providing hand sanitizer.
• Having disinfecting spray at the events and in bathroom
  facilities for high-touch surfaces. Disinfecting surfaces in
  common-use areas often.
• Encouraging “virtual” greetings and discouraging unnecessary
  physical contact.
• Recommending that attendees avoid touching dogs that are not
  their responsibility.
• Minimizing common use items unless disinfected or hand
  coverings are provided.
    Upon entry, the Tehama Fairgrounds (30th DAA)
    will require attendees to sign a COVID19 waiver

      Please support all safety efforts!
           AND…please be kind!
           Thank you in advance!
