On November 25^th, 26^th, and 27^th, 2005 the Canadian Dove Association held their 26^th Annual Show & Sale in the Oxford Auditorium on the Woodstock, Fairgrounds as part of the 35^th Specialty Pigeon Show. As with previous shows we were overwhelmed with the number of fanciers visiting the dove section, and our members found themselves kept very busy answering questions about raising domestic doves and foreign pigeons.

             There were 16 Ring Neck Doves shown in 11 different mutations; 12 Diamond Doves shown in 7 different mutations; 14 Doves were shown in the section for Senegal Doves and Smaller in 7 species, and 9 Doves were shown in 7 species in the section of the show for Doves Larger than Senegal Doves.

           We would like to thank our judge Mike Rex, Bay City, Michigan, our clerk Rose Marie Van Erp, Parkhill, Ontario, the show managers Dave House, Innerkip, Ontario, and Dale Stewart, Petersburg, Ontario, and our auctioneer, Bernie Van Erp, Parkhill, Ontario.  The Association would also like to say "Thank You" to the suppliers and members who donated items of interest for the auction, which raised $147.30. Thank you for your generous support and contributions! After the show and sale on Saturday afternoon, we gathered at the Copa-Cabana Steak House for dinner, and the presentation of the show awards.
