Anyone have any info on the this? Who were the helpers? It looks as if a good portion of the dogs had problems with one thing or another...was anyone on this list there? Saw one dog listed with an award for the "most heart?"...would love to hear more about this dog or any of the other entries?

thanks,

Hi Ron,

Yep, I was there and it was a challenging weekend.

The turnout was good, but the weather was BAD. Friday for the tracking there was plenty of cold wind and rain. There were certainly some scores you would have expected to be higher.

The obedience went well on Saturday. Again, you would have expected the scores to be higher, but the judging was fair and consistent.

The protection was exciting and the weather had actually warmed up a bit. There were some great protection routines, but again, the scoring was tough but fair.

As far as the BST entries, they didn't fair so well. Only one dog passed.

Helper: Joey Leigh, Front Half. Mike Stone, Back Half. Ivan Balabanov, BST.

As far as "Most Heart", Apollo turned in a very energetic routine. He drew lot's of "Oooh's" and "Aaah's", but lost some points in the obedience during protection.

All of the competitors handled themselves with the utmost in professionalism and were indded a pleasure to hang out with. The judges dinner and auction on Saturday were in my opinion the highlight of the weekend.

I will put more pictures on the website as I have time. I think we took in the neighborhood of 400 pictures, so it takes awhile to decide what to post.
