Congratulations to all the dogs that qualified and to those who completed their titles. (The notations about "Title completed" are pending CKC approval, of course.) It was an excellent weekend and for once on an earthdog test weekend the rain held off.

The judges, Trudy Kawami and Duane Pulford, could not have been better. We were lucky indeed that they agreed to judge for us. Both Trudy and Duane remarked that many of the dogs who did not qualify showed definite signs of "getting it" and they expect many of them to qualify in future tests. If some of them are successful next weekend at the Atlantic Terrier Association Earthdog Tests in Ste Croix, Nova Scotia that would be wonderful!
