First agility trial, perfect score

Trained and Talented Canines hosted a well run, hospitable trial. Judge Betsy Smith set fair courses.

First PSA2 event, first place

Just Another Sport Dog club was super supportive and so organized for a first trial. Janet Edwards did a great job judging and helping exhibitors and what energy!  Jam packed mock trial then sanctioned trial in 85 degree and high humidity with incessant bugs.

Thank you to safe work by decoys Stefan Hercerg, Ben Lepinski, Adrian Rae, Jeffery Allen, Andrew Sterner, and Daniel Mcelroy.

Ben is experienced for sure but was a bit surprised to be on the receiving end of a Ring guard.  Kludde wasn't told that Ben is too young for a prostate check.

There were nice dog handler teams qualifying but Kludde and I had the honor of taking High Protection, High in Trial, High Owner Trained, High club (thank you Ethan!).
