Quincy & I trialed at the NW2 level today at Haley Toyota Field in Salem, VA. The day started off cold and blustery. It warmed up a bit by the afternoon, but the wind persisted throughout the day, giving the searches an interesting challenge. Our first search of the day was Exteriors with 3 hides. Quincy was a bit nervous, which is typical for her first search of the day, but was able to find all 3 hides. As we continued on to other searches, she became more confident. We got pronounced in the remaining 4 searches, including 2nd place in Containers and the cherry on top was that she ended up coming in 1st Place Overall and winning the High in Trial tin of all the swabs in the trial! I am so proud of her! It was also super amazing to share today with Angie Young and Groot, who also did an amazing job (I'll let them tell their story).

Quincy has had a difficult nose work journey. She had such a hard time being able to comfortably work in a novel environment. But look how far she's come- last Saturday she ran all 5 searches in PSD's Advanced level at a location she's never been to. She placed in 4 of the 5 searches, earned her Advanced Buildings title and even earned an Iron Nose Award (qualified in all 5 searches she entered for the day). Here she is proudly showing off her ribbons and medallion. I am so proud of her!

Baron ran the one and only search he needed to complete his PSD Scent Dog Excellent title last Sunday- Excellent Distance. It was a super fun search with 2 search areas, 1 hide in each. Baron came in 3rd place! He doesn't like his picture being taken, but he did his best to pose for his awesome accomplishment. Love this dog!!
