Well the first DogMinds SDDA trial was a big success 🎉

Congratulations to everyone who came out to play today! What amazing talented dogs and handlers, lots of successes and smiling faces. It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves, lunch was popular, the weather was perfect, and there were lots of smiles.

A HUGE thank you to my volunteers who made this trial so successful. You all jumped right in and took care of everything. I cannot show how grateful I am to have such amazing wonderful people that gave up their day to help others play. You are all amazing!

A huge thank you to Yvonne Ferguson with Quinte Canine for being the best judge and so kind to the competitors. And for answering my million and one questions while trying to navigate my first trial lol.

Huge thank you to Anne Baron for having such a lovely property and letting us invade it for the day!

The HUGEST thank you to Meaghan Ashleigh for being my trial secretary. She did all the behind the scenes stuff, took care of all the emails, forms, my trying to understand forms, run orders, workbooks. She invested a lot of time and effort and did an outstanding job!

All in all $1000 was raised for the Kingston humane society! Leo's Corner donated $410 of that. Amazing!

There were 90 runs entered and the last dog ran at 1:30, how is that for efficient?! Best volunteers ever!

All in all there were:
25 Q’s Container
25 Q’s Interior
25 Q’s Exterior
23 new started titles!

How amazing is that?!

Pictures is DogMinds own Bianca Hannigan and Toby High in Trial dog! He used .10% of his allowed time in the three components and kicked butt!

Thank you thank you thank you again to everyone who came out! It was a fantastic day. Congratulations to all!!

For all of my wonderful grooming clients… please please please pre book your appointments, or give me lots of notice when you’re looking for an appointment. I hate saying no, but I am booked out quite far right now and am not always able to squeeze people in. Pre booked appointments guarantee that spot when your dog will need to be groomed next. Thanks so much!

Omg Santa got lost!!! Like so many, he was rushing to get his last minute shopping done and got tangled in a whirlwind of dog fluff. Fortunately for Santa, I’m a first rate dog fluff wrangler. I was able to free him from the wrath of the fluff and he’s on his way back to the North Pole, Christmas has been saved!

🐾 nail trims are with the wonderful Marcy, she’s awesome! Mikki will be running the scent, but can do nails as time permits.

🐾 Scent practise - 20 containers, 0-3 scents (wintergreen, pine, and/or thyme), a distractor in most other boxes! How fun is that?! I will keep a tally of alerts and will have a prize for the most accurate team based on titling level (untitled/novice, advanced/open, excellent). I will have a large section of the room penned off for the containers so your dog will have its own space while searching. Please note that there will likely be other dogs in the building so this may not be an ideal event for all dogs, and that is ok!
If you’re up for the challenge, come in upon arrival and I’ll put your name on the list.

🐾 All money from this event will be donated to my dear friend Melissa with her beautiful rough collie Effie. Effie recently won a dicey battle with leptospirosis, which required an extended hospital stay and round the clock care. The cost is insurmountable to say the least, and I hope to lessen that burden a little. Melissa has been there for every fundraiser and CGN I have asked her to help out at over the years, donating her time and photography skills to help fundraise for those less fortunate. I would like to offer this evening of fun to help repay her kindness!
