Scruffy City Strong Dogs

I know we have been quiet recently for Knoxville but we have been making headway on our exciting new outdoor pulling area!

We got the land leveled and have begun the process of prepping it for substrate. We will be setting up the rails track and have a nice natural pulling surface once everything is completed. The plan is still to host IWPA/IDSA this season and we will get dates out as soon as we get them settled. We also hope to be practicing regularly again once our pulling area is completed.

Teller says to stay cool this summer everyone! We will be back in the fall with a regular practice schedule, IWPA & IDSA competitions, and hopefully a new outdoor natural chute & rails set up!
