Our Chippewa Falls Wi trials closes Wednesday August 6th. I am needing to know if there are people still planning to enter. I will have to make the decision whether to go down to one judge by that date. If that happens, late and day of show may not be available. Please comment if you are still planning to enter. See you in Wisconsin!!

Here is what Earthdog is all about. This is the club, Greater Twin Cities Earthdog, that I’m a member of. It’s what inspired barn hunt. It is AKC and breed specific to test, but we welcome others to our practices.

We are offering this at the Chippewa Falls trials. Please READ this as to what you can enter if you’d like to do it.

Great news this morning. We have now finished testing the ability to enter your dog twice in the same trial! So that will be available immediately but READ THIS WHOLE POST FOR RESTRICTIONS!

Not all Clubs will offer this option. Clubs will be updating their Event listings and premiums soon. In general, if it's not offered, you enter 1 Regular class per Trial (except you can enter Instinct and Novice in the same trial). Clubs may offer up to 2 Trials per day.

If offered, there are only certain classes that can be entered this way. At least one must be a B class. See the listing in the rules (and copypasta here). YOU CANNOT ENTER MASTER B TWICE IN THE SAME TRIAL (just yelling because I know some of you will ask :) ). You can enter two different B classes but not twice in the same class level.

And obviously, you can't enter a Class you aren't yet eligible to enter. So you can't enter Novice B plus Senior A if you don't have a RATO yet.

Contact your Club to see if they will be offering these options. Clubs which regularly fill very quickly almost certainly will not. Clubs that don't fill may but are not required to.

I finally have a moment to now post about the Cambridge trials. I left for Washington State early Monday morning after a 30 minute nap once I got things put away and packed for the trip. So….thank you to everyone that came and tackled the challenges this event has. I say those that sweat well together play well together. I had over 35 dogs that came to the Intro Seminars Thursday!! Many signed up and played that weekend along with volunteering!! ❤️ Even though we were sweating through our clothes, I saw many smiles, heard laughs and cheers from the teams and judges. Speaking of judges, thank you to Shelley and Sue for returning knowing what could be instore and for Dan to give us a shot. They had great courses and I heard many compliments. You all will be happy to hear that all three agreed to come back next year. With how hot and dirty it was, that is a tribute to all that made a great impression on them to come again. Not only were the judges getting compliments, so were our volunteers from the judges. Brenda did a great job dealing with over 200 conflicts again this year to make the trial run smooth. Barb’s lunches hit the spot as usual. The committee including Hannah the rat wrangler, and those that helped set up and clean up, I can’t say thank you enough. This event is a beast and takes even more to put on than the others. Thank you to every one of you that, came to play, kept a smile on your face and helped out as little or a lot as you could. These can NOT happen without all of you!! Thank you again and happy hunting!!! ❤️❤️

Anyone want to bring a simple bar or cookies to share for the Cambridge trials? I am bringing rice crispy bars and chocolate chip cookies. 😁

All final confirmation emails and the welcome letter have been sent for the Cambridge trials. PLEASE READ them both completely!! There is a lot of information about the trial and location, including parking. See you next week!!

I am hoping to have both trailers at the building by 5:00 Wednesday to start setting up for the Cambridge trials if anyone is wanting to help out. I will start back up Thursday morning around 8:00 or so to finish up. Any help is appreciated!! ❤️❤️

If anyone is still mailing your entry form for the Cambridge trials, it needs to arrive at Brenda’s address BY Wednesday. She will be on site Wednesday and not able to receive her mail. You can however walk it over to our building to hand deliver it. 😁
