2024 Master National Update
Here is a video of the test dog running our 1st series.
We are done now and waiting for callbacks before we move to the 2nd series.
This test had to be completely changed because of safety. Kudos to the safety crew and judges for changing the test and making it safe.

This test was very challenging and caused lots of handles.
