Thank you so much to everyone who came, stayed and supported our last night of league at the farm. I am so glad the weather cooperated to give us a great night to have the barn wide open for the first time this cycle and also provide sunset views for all the photo ops behind the hall (I saw you guys out there!!).

I truly appreciate the enthusiasm that everyone has brought to my little league idea that was sparked back in 2021. Whether you have come for 1 night or been here since the beginning I hope that league has and continues to bring you the fun and joy of training your dog to jump over PVC with a small side quest into learning to be a little bit competitive!

We celebrated the last night of league this cycle and 2025 with a fast and fun tunnel-tunnel-not tunnel Speedstakes course! So many of you were able to turn in clear rounds or nearly clear rounds to improve on your overall scores so CONGRATS! It was "Kind of a Big Dill" and so we handed out prizes with a Pickle theme.

And now to congratulate all the winners with first our weekly winners of the night:
Rising Star 12" Arlo
Rising Star 16" Chanel
Rising Star 20" Indi
Rising Star 24" Luna
Shooting Star 4" Caisson
Shooting Star 8" Rip
Shooting Star 12" Blitz
Shooting Star 16" Zen
Shooting Star 20" Sooie
Shooting Star 24" Paabo

Our Cycle Winners in their division and height winning their very own pickle disco trophies:
Rising Star 12" Arlo

Rising Star 20" Alligator
Rising Star 24" Luna
Shooting Star 4" Caisson
Shooting Star 8" Rip

And lastly our Overall Division winners with the best 3 out of 4 scores taking home a custom ribbon, treats, pickle toys and CA$H were:
Rising Star Small Arlo
Rising Star Large Alligator

Jim still has a few open spots in his new Intro to Scentwork class. It will be on Thursday nights starting at 6pm in our turf hall starting on October 9th!!

Jim has been teaching Scentwork at the farm for several years but hasn't had any open spots in classes and is ready to start a new dog class. No experience needed. This class will help your dog be ready for any scent related venues not just AKC.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to enjoy a Standard style course tonight. We had to use the AC as the temperatures decided Summer wasn't quite gone yet but hopefully for Week 4 we can run with windows and doors open for our last night!

Congratulations to our weekly winners:
Rising Star 12" Sadie
Rising Star 16" Chanel
Rising Star 20" Raspberry
Shooting Star 4" Caisson
Shooting Star 8" Rip
Shooting Star 12" Blitz
Shooting Star 16" Jackpot
Shooting Star 20" Nike

I hope everyone can make it for the final league night of this series and our 2025 season on October 2nd! If you haven't come to a week 4 night before we always finish up on a Speedstakes style course (just jumps and tunnels) and then gather after round 2 is over for the Prize giving! If you can plan to stay to cheer and perhaps even claim a prize it is really appreciated!

While Summer is winding down and the Fall weather is swooping in that can only mean one thing.......

IT IS TIME FOR SPOOK-TACULAR agility!!!

Our UKI trial is open for entries now and we have some very cool highlights going on at this show including:

1. NEW SCHEDULE: We are trying out a split level trial which means all Beg/Nov classes will be on half of the day and all Sen/Champ classes will be on the other half of the day. Based on entries we will have a set time we won't start the 2nd half of the day before so you can plan your arrival accordingly!
2. We are having some SPOOKY awards for this show. Saturday our Sen/Champ dogs can win special overall prizes and Sunday it is our Beg/Nov dogs who can scoop up the winnings!
3. We hope to have a special Halloween photo booth setup in the Turf hall that you can come enjoy (even if you are not entered in the trial) AND there is a chance we will have a trial designated portrait photographer too! We will share details when we can confirm!
4. As always we have our fully climate controlled Crating building and Agility hall so if the weather Goblins throw their worst at us we will still be comfortable!

COME JOIN US!!! And if you have questions drop them in the comments!
