We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to our Spring Into Rats Trial in Tehachapi, CA on April 11 and 12. We had a fantastic weekend with what ended up being mostly beautiful weather only a few showers on Sunday Morning. A special Thank you to our Judges, Taylor Santo, Kathy Etchemendy, and Sarah Anderson for setting some fun and challenging courses in some new environmental distractions for a lot of the dogs.

We held some small raffles on Saturday and Sunday. Those along with lunch donations we raised $250 which is being donated to Clooney and Walter Canine Medical Assistance Fund.

We also presented some titles that were earned at our past trials.

Congratulations to all the teams that earned new titles this weekend.

Mel and Teddy Level 1 Urban, Trialing and Shed (Our Wonderful Site Host)

Catherine and Grace earning their Shed Master Championship Title and Supreme Versatility Master Championship.

I know there were many others that earned titles. If you earned a title this weekend, please share it in the comments. Also if you earned a title at any of our trials and would like to share a Title photo we will be starting an album to share all the dogs that have titled at one of our events.

Though we don't have any other trials on the books right now. We are working on some things for the summer and fall keep an eye out soon for things to come.

Thank you again to everyone that came out. And if you have photos from the event please feel free to post them in the comments and we can add them to the Album for the event!
