We enjoyed a beautiful Fall day for our annual November trial with USCA Judge Nathaniel Roque. We had 8 entries with 7 being HOT with 6 teams passing and a very large group of spectators. Congratulations to those who passed and and wishing future success to those who were so close. Thank you to everyone who chipped in to help in one way or another to make the trial run seamlessly. We are looking forward to our next trial March 1, 2014. -

A fine windy day for an IPO trial at our new location. In comparison to our March 2012 trial the wind was pale in comparison, at least it was warm and dry. We had a nicely organize trial with 7 entries, 6 being HOT with 5 entries passing. Tracking was a bit challenging with the wind and dry conditions but the wind kept the temperature down a bit. Thank you to everyone who made our trial a success. -

Call it Murphy's Law or blame it on the Leprechauns but after 3 trials with decent weather our luck ran out today. The trial started with extreme winds, dodging vehicle size tumbleweeds on the way back from tracking, blowing dirt and sand, transitioned to blowing mud then wind and heavy rain mixed with sleet. We had 10 entries with 8 passing. 3-BH, 2-TR1, 2-OB1 1-OB2, 1-IPO1 and 1-IPO3. Even though the competitors had the choice of stopping the trial they chose to brave the elements and continue. I call that competitive spirit, some people call it plain crazy :-)
Congratulations to those who achieved titles and for those who did not but put in a valiant effort.
BH titles - Kim/Mojo, Beverly/Freckles, Susan/Kaya.
TR1- Marty/Ida High Tracking, Terry/Isis.
OB1 -Terry/Isis High Obedience.

IPO1 Bob/Rocky High Protection, High IPO1, High in Trial.
Special thanks to Andrea Duggan for enduring the torture of the High Desert with an award winning attitude (wearing goggles during OB so she could see) and to club members as each and every one of them came out to help out. A high five to the competitors for being so flexible as we rearranged running orders. Also, a BIG thank you to Susan H for being first time trial secretary under such horrible conditions. Last but not least Anne Kent we salute your for hydroplaning your way to the trial to work Rocky. You guys ROCK! - November 12, 2011 Schutzhund Trial with judge
