At the Del Monte Kennel Club AKC Scent Work Trial in Monterey on July 4th and 5th Bobby earned his AKC Scent Work Novice Title (SWN). He also Q'd in all 3 of his first Advanced entries, Interior, Exterior and Buried. For the 2 days he qualified in 6 out 7 elements. Thank you Sara Mattson, Trial Chair, for running such a tight ship, Judges, Lisa Kretner, Suzanne Edholm, Suzanne LeRoy and Wendy Spradlin for setting fun searches, Teresa Locatelli for all her work at the score table and all the volunteers for which a trial doesn't happen without you. Thank you Monterey for the 70 degree Weather!

Had a fun day at the Northern CA Dalmation Club AKC Trial in Fairfield, CA. Bobby and I camped out with Barbara Jenness & Wink, Judy Pierce Mcdonald & Rocky, Mary Bayley, Fergus & Khul. Everyone had a great day. Bobby in his first AKC trial got 7 of 8 Q's including a 1st and a 4th Place. Handler error on oour first run of the day. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with Boddy's progress and performance. I know that Wink Q'ed in all his events and got High in Trial for Novice B. I'll let Mary and Judy report their successes.
