AKC Scent Work Trials
NKC hosted its last event of the 2024 at Werner Park in Sarpy County on December 6-8, 2024. We couldn’t have had nicer weather for December! Our judges (Johnnette Ulch, Sharon Dowell, Brenda Bruce, and Jeff Hartzler set fun and challenging searches for our teams to conquer. This trial was the biggest trial we have had at Werner Park and required some class juggling to keep our judges under their maximum judging times! Overall, we had 70 people showing 99 dogs in 637 runs. There was a 60% pass rate for the entire weekend which included the Detective classes. The fastest run of the weekend was 2.40 seconds in Novice B Exterior. Zarah, owned by Dahna Huddleson, achieved this fast time.
Friday, we held our detective and buried trials with 65 teams competing. For the first time our detective trials filled with 20 runs in each trial. We even had a waiting list!
Saturday and Sunday, we had one trial each day consisting of handler discrimination, interiors, exteriors and containers. There were 84 competing teams on Saturday and 81 teams on Sunday.
Six dogs and handlers achieved super title this weekend. On Friday, we had two dogs and handlers achieve their Detective Titles. They were Riley, owned by Lori Tranmer and Rayna owned by Gerianne Darnell, both club members!!. That was a trifecta for Rayna this year. She also earned her Obedience Trial Championship and Rally Championship earlier in the year (not to forget that she also got her TD too)! Thank you to Judge Jeff Hartzler for presenting badges to our new detective dogs. We also had four dog and handler teams finish their Overall Master Titles. They were Pip, owned by Trish Burbach; Quincy, owned by Teresa Barney; Caper, owned by Jenny Vincent; and Smash; owned by Jen Howell. Congratulations to these six exceptional teams!
