The trial took place in an outside storage compound containing large bails of bedding and feed.

The first hide was located just at the beginning of the search area to the right hand side between 2 log bags about 2ft above the ground. The second hide was located half way around the search area in a bag of wood chip bedding.

Most dogs located this hide efficiently and independently, leading to some very nice indications. The first hide provided more of a challenge, wind direction didn’t help and some handlers didn’t cover this area of the search in much detail resulting in the hide being missed. Overall some really nice work this evening, it was lovely to see some new teams and they showed lots of potential for the future so keep up the good work. For those that have been competing a while I really did find it difficult to find faults in your handling, so a big congratulations to you

On the evening of the 18th August, Sherlock Hounds Super Sniffers hosted an evening Scent Ops Bronze trial. The trial was held in a stable yard area with the exterior to search including a wall plus various boxes and crates in front of the stables. Two stables were open and the large corner one was full of different objects the other more bare and a tack room that was full of saddles, bridles and other horse equipment on shelves and draws. One hide was in the tack room tucked in a dark corner in a dustpan and brush, all teams found this one. the second hide caused a few problems, it was in the more empty stable at the back between two cones but some of the teams were convinced it must be in the large corner stable full of items and either wasted time or some convinced their dogs there was something there also. The teams with the two highest scores worked beautifully with their dogs and showed great team work. All in all a great evenings searching, well done to all teams.

On the evening of the 7th July, Sherlock Hounds Super Sniffers hosted an evening Scent Ops Bronze trial. The trial was held in a yard are with two out buildings. One contained bales of shavings, piles of bricks at the back a horse rug on a stand which divided the space on the other side were chairs a table , guttering pieces along the side. The yard area has various areas of interest holes in walls, a tap/pipe work, trolley, water tank. The next room contained lots of horse rugs, bins, large metal feed bins and various boxes. All the teams worked well and found the hides, just the odd error here and there that lost marks but overall a great evenings searching. well done to all teams that took part.
