The weather for this weekend was much better than our last 2 Fast CATs not nearly as windy and we had only 1 hour rain delay. It took longer on Saturday to get ribbons and times out as we worked with a new secretary. This improved much for Sunday. The numbers and new titles are as follows:
35 dogs participated in Fun Runs. We had 289 runs with 260 qualifiers!
Thank you to the participants and volunteers that made this a successful event.
Earned their BCATs: Ila, Brummy, Winston, Halen, Cora, Luna, Mayva, Ju’le, Vada, Kola, Pipa, Neri, Opal
Earned their DCATs: Xyon, Taylor, Arya, Pip
Teagun earned her FCAT2!
Congratulations on your new titles!
Sincerely,

If the Advanced level does not fill, more Beginners may be added. Classes are small to allow a lot of training time for each team. Beginner class will be approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.

There were two Scent Work Detective Trials held on Sunday July 31. 2022 at the Dowell Farm, in Glenwood, IA.
Both trials had 13 entries. Trial #1 had 2 passes, Trial #2 had 4 passes. Congratulations to each of the passing teams!
The Scent Work Detective Class offers an integrated search environment with an unknown number of hides in a variety of elements. The intent of the Detective Class is to emulate as closely as possible the work of a true detection dog.
