Much fun was had by all at our CWAGS Scent trials yesterday! We broke in our newest judges Liz Berna and Pat Rimkus who graced us with some awesome courses! So many club members and non members pitched in and helped run things smoothly from set up to tear down and everywhere in between. We would be nothing without all our hardworking volunteers and you’re all very much appreciated! Many first time handlers and new titles which is always awesome to see! We hope all our exhibitors had as much fun as we did and keep an eye on our Facebook and website for our next trial October 6th! If you were at our trial yesterday share some pics and some of the loot you took home in the comments! Happy training!❤️🐾
