       Welcome to the OFSS
  
The Club for "ALL" Dog Powered Sport Enthusiasts

The OFSS is a group who welcomes ALL! We are presently working very hard to change the image of the OFSS to better incorporate "ALL" whether you have one dog or one hundred dogs. You don't have to race to be a part of this club.
We are working on organizing other events separate from the races which are already established. We are trying to come up with new ideas that will better suit the needs of the recreational person. Anyone with any breed of dog that can pull is welcome to join. Contact the President or Vice President for further information and member contacts.
Present members can bring the newcomer a wealth of information to make working with your dogs more enjoyable each and everyday.
