Folks please don't forget about our Fun in the Mountains Fun Test in Fayetteville NC coming up next Month! June 8th is the day! Our fabulous Barn Hunt judge Melissa Milligan will be back to design more cool courses and the temperature is going to be perfect! Come help us support a new group of Barn Hunters wanting to learn how to run a trial and our great up and coming judge! Sign up easily on Secreterrier by going to secreterrier.com/events/346/enter

This is also a GREAT way to train your dog in a show setting for a fraction of the cost of a real show! All classes only $10/run and you can run your dog up to 4 times/day in the regular classes plus up to 4 instinct classes too!

Half the proceeds will go to support the North American Mudi Alliance (NAMA)!

Secreterrier makes it easy for competitors to enter dog shows and trials online, and for show secretaries to manage all aspects of their events

Would anyone have a Fetch it/air retrieve rig we could borrow in July? We are looking to possibly host a Regional Qualifier for Ultimate Air Dogs but need a Fetch it rig. We ARE ordering one but it may not get here in time.

If anyone is available Thursday April 18th to come help us set up for the show we could really use the help! We have a 30x30 tent to set up for the dining hall near the food trucks and I know you would all like a nice dry area to eat in! Come help us get set up and see the beautiful show grounds before everyone else!

Chris Puls just posted this in the Greater Columbia Obedience Club. This is in Columbia and looks like an AMAZING facility to help build your dogs confidence!

There are a few days in March I blocked off, but as long as the date has available openings, the times available will show up once you click on the date.

I need to cancel lessons for the next several days. My dog Peppa has a severe eye injury and needs constant supervision. I will be leaving some rats in the barn for folks who wish to still use their time to practice. Please keep Peppa in your thoughts.

This team is fairly new to the barn hunt scene but they walked in and blasted through the levels in time for Regionals and Nationals! Keep an eye out for Vicenza Dillard and Christopher Dillard at Nationals! This pair is on a mission!

10/25/2023

This dynamic team is fairly new but they are a force to be reckoned with! Gracie and Sister teamed up shortly after Regionals and if their practices so far say anything I think this will be a team to watch! Look out Nationals! The South East is sending in the heat! Melanie J Larson and Melissa Milligan All the best luck and I can't wait to hear how you do! These ladies help run Low Country Rat Wranglers Barn Hunt Club which is one of our sister clubs and we LOVE them!

10/25/2023

Sam and Lucy are talking about all the rats they are going to find at Nationals! Huge congratulations to all the teams heading to Nationals but massive Good luck going to our local wonderteam! Christine Cameron Sarafin and Beth Charles Lindler have worked so hard in prepping for this trial and no matter what you two have already made me so very proud!
