\n
The Ottawa Valley Poodle Club was formed in 1988 by a small group of dedicated poodle owners who were actively involved in conformation, obedience, breeding and responsible pet ownership. Official recognition was granted by the Canadian Kennel Club on August 1, 1989, and our first Specialty Show was held on September 7, 1991.<\/h5>\n
Since those early beginnings our membership has grown to more than 50 people. We have organized eye and blood clinics, grooming seminars, sheepherding clinics, a variety of fundraisers, held annual Specialty Shows, Obedience , Rally-O and Agility Trials. In addition, we hold three or more General Meetings during the year, as well as a Poodle Picnic in July and a Christmas Party in December.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
