Regionals 2024. A huge huge thank you to Michelle and her crew for hosting Regionals this year. There was all types of weather to contend with on and off, but everything still turned out great. Thank you to each of the judges Chris, Tracey, Glenn and KIrsten for coming and making it fun for all of the competitors. I really liked all the little extra things that were done and the creative touches put on shirts, hoodies, bags, cups, etc.. Also, the placement ribbons were so pretty with the purple, blue, and shiny sparkle writing. Well done MH.
Secondly, I have to put in a huge brag for our Sundog peeps. There were 11 of us that went to compete, plus we brought some extra volunteers to help out at Regionals. It was a blast to have so many teams from Sundog competing at this event. For six of these teams this was the first time they had ever competed at Regionals. Not only was this their first time competing at this level, but this was also their very first agility dog. For 2 other team dogs the handlers each had a new dog at this event.
I am super proud of how our little group has grown, and how supportive they are of each other. Always smiling and laughing and having positive things to say after each run made the weekend very special. Each of them had goals going into Regionals, but I can safely say that each of them surpassed their original goals. There was lots of smiles as everyone came home with some hardware. Congratulations to each team.

Happy Mother’s Day to All. Spending the weekend with friends, students, and all the competitors at our Sundog agility trial was so much fun. Congratulations to the many competitors who won titles and Q’d runs,and to each of you for good try’s and effort.
A huge thank you to our judges Tracey Mallinson and Christopher Elias. Great courses, good challenges, fun and interesting conversations, and of course lots of laughs.
Thank you to our head course builder Q. You always do a great job and we really appreciate you building the courses and keeping us on track.
Trials are a lot of work, but when surrounded by great people like our Sundog family everything just magically happens and gets done. Thank you to our chair Brandy Downey, to our Refuelling crew Kim McAdoo and Lacey Brummelhuis, to Rita Barrett and Robyn Moore who look after the results, and to each and every other peep in our group. You are all awesome.
Lastly, I am blessed to be able to run my dogs Winx and Kane. This was Kane’s first time running at a trial. My goal was to run him FEO and for him to stay with me and for him to keep his contact criteria and he did both brilliantly.

I want to thank all of the competitors who came out and supported our St. Patricks Trial. Kudos to all of the handler and dog teams who did an amazing job running their dogs from the Starter to the Master levels. There were many new titles awarded from the Starter to the Versatility Levels 🙂. We had some new Starter people at the the trial and they all did an amazing job. It is always a humbling experience to watch new handler/dog teams go out for the first time and is a reminder that this sport takes alot of dedication, time, and commitment to be able to play. So Congratulations to everyone who competes.
Thank you to both of our judges, Kirsten Locke and Shannon Elves. The courses were so much fun, were fast and flowy and had some good challenges for the handler/dog teams to test their skills. A great start for those planning to go to Regionals and work on some skills that may need tweaking 🙂.
Lastly, I just need to brag about all of the Sundog Peeps that truly made everything go seamlessly at the trial. I thank each and everyone of them for the support that they give to each other, their great attitudes and for all of their help at the trial. We have an amazing crew and I could not be any prouder to have them at my side, not only at our trials, but I get the joy of seeing and training with them each week.

Thank you to Gulnaz from K9 Fun Centre for coming to Lethbridge and presenting at Sundog Agility Dryland Dock seminar. It was fun to watch the successes that each team had today. The handler/dog teams learned lots about building toy drive, how to be engaging with their dog, and general information about this growning sport. Each team was then able to practice the many different skills needed to prepare dogs for dock diving. I am sure there are some tired pups tonight :).
Congratulation to our Nose-work Level 1 graduates. What a great group of handlers and dogs to introduce into this sport.

Friday Agility class working on jumping in extention and then into a compression ladder grid. Handlers are working on their curtsie move to show their virtual dog Allision to slow down for the compression grid. This dog deserves lots of extra treats for the great effort 😂
