Trial is still a go this weekend.

We had some pretty bad weather leading up to the Dec. trial, but the day of was pretty nice, good snow conditions and temps in the 20's. We had around 65 entries, not bad. The Jan trial will be held on Jan. 20th. and unless we get some snow, the conditions of the grounds should be the same. Hope to see some new faces there.

Hi Todd

Are handlers required to wear white jackets? Also can multiple classes be entered with the same dog if the class requirements are met?

Thanks

You can wear what ever you want for visibility to the dog. And yes, you can enter multiple events with the same dog as long as the dog isn't outside the eligibility of the stake (puppy and derby have restrictions).
