French Ring Sport

Capital City Dog Sport Association has a unique and interesting involvement with French Ring Sport in this country beginning back in the 1980s. Our CCDSA President and training director Cheryl Carlson was one of the founders of the North American Ring Association (NARA) and also served as President of the organization for a number of years.

 

Cheryl has titled 4 dogs to Ring III (1 German Shepherd & 3 Belgian Malinois) and her training students have earned over 150 French Ring titles.
