Another incredible trial weekend - this time in the beautiful Catskills 🍂🍁🌻🌅with Del-Otse-Nango Kennel Club, judging two days of Detective 🔎🔍trials !!! Going there is like coming home!!! 🏡
Kudos to the club members 👪who volunteered their time, support, camaraderie and energy ensuring that the weekend was a huge success! And special thanks to Kelly and Sully who were an amazing Demo Dog team! 🥰
We had perfect weather ☀, awesome search areas 🐎🚜, incredible hosts who welcomed us all like family and amazing teams 🐾❤️ 👣!!!
It was such an honor to watch these teams at the top of their game, smiling and having fun, celebrating every moment regardless of outcome, and enjoying the opportunity to step to that line!
I enjoyed all the hugs and handing out the ribbons, including a Detective title, but most of all, seeing so many familiar faces and sharing the pinnacle of all their journeys. 😊
I am blessed to have shared this weekend with my best boy Axel, who stepped up to do Demo Dog duty (along with his buddy Sully)...he dusted off his harness for the second weekend in a row, and did an outstanding job of making sure the hides were behaving and telling me if tweaks were needed. 🩵
Thank you to everyone who made Axel feel so welcome and allowed him to check all the pockets and pouches for treats (he even found a donut !!!🍩
I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this awesome weekend!
Looking forward to next year already! 🗓

All the video debriefs of the searches are uploaded on my YouTube channel! Enjoy!

Our Gallery search at the Delaware Ag Museum last week was very exciting: the multiple tables and chairs, the high ceilings (note the vaulted glass ceiling with the sun streaming through! )and the open spaces created challenging air flow with pooling and trapping of odor.

We were told there was an unknown # of hides and were given 5:00 for this search. We found 4 of the 5 hides!

I was very proud of Vi's diligence in working through the odor puzzles especially on the tables and chairs! 💜 Patience and observation skills go a long way ! 👍

One of the NACSW Elite searches we did at the Delaware Agricultural Museum on Tuesday was in the Poultry 🐣🐓🐔🥚🐖 section: a very large, busy, open area with very high ceilings and multiple displays.
We were given 6:00 for the search and told there was an unknown number of hides.
There were six hides and we found all them all !!! 🤩 (but we don't find out how we did until the end of the day after all the searches are completed) and got a Pronounced designation for our search!

Here is the virtual walkthrough that was made available to the competitors the day before the trial

This video illustrates why it is so important to recognize scent cone behavior.
Vi 💜 does a beautiful job of sifting through the scent cones, evaluating air flow and working each piece of the puzzle.
We had a great time using up our six minutes!
Very proud of our team effort! 🐾👊👣

On Tuesday Team Vi 💜 traveled to the Delaware Agricultural Museum in Dover for the awesome Elite trial hosted by The Sniffing Hound finding 17/20 hides, no No's, and 85 points which gave us a 3rd place overall, a 3rd place in the Dairy Search AND our Elite Championship!!!! 🥳

What an amazing venue! We've never searched in a museum before and it was quite interesting!!! 🐮 🐓 🐖 🚜
We had beautiful weather and fun, challenging searches! Thanks to our Certifying Official, judges, Volunteer Coordinator and the Score Room! Special thanks to the volunteers without whom we can't have trials ! ☺️
This has been such an incredible journey for us ! All the tear-jerkers 😢, buzzer beaters ⏱, head-bangers 🤦‍♀️ and jaw-droppers 😱 along the way...the learning curve that has led to some amazing teamwork 🐾 👣 with my beautiful Vi! 🦈 💜
She is one of 19 Rottweilers in the country to have this prestigious title!!!
Looking forward to the next part of our journey!
