If you love agility as much as adorable Jasmine, don't forget to enter the South Paws CPE trial August 10-11 at Minnesota Rush in Rochester. Premium:https://cpe.dog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/AG08102024MNSouthPawsK9Academy.pdf

Apprentice judge Gale Ryan will create some fun challenges for the weekend, and her supervisor is the one and only Mike Conroy. Smiles and fun with your canine teammate guaranteed!

*Notes from our trial secretary, Cathy: CPE recently changed the premium template and it can be confusing. Be sure to indicate your desired runs for both Saturday AND Sunday, and send your volunteer form as a separate printed page.

Please please don't print entries back to back; hard to explain but that makes things harder.

Finally, be sure to CAREFULLY check your confirmation!*

See you there -

Best. Weekend. Ever! So many smiles (from dogs & humans alike) at our CSS trial this past weekend - still riding the "high." Little Log House Pioneer Village in Hastings provided incredible search spaces, and the weather was just what the doctor ordered. (Headquarters in the original Porky's restaurant? How cool is that?)

Thank you Sharon Middendorf, Lauren Schmidt and Jennifer Hassett for setting challenging hides and creating a supportive and fun tone for the trial.

BIGGEST thanks to our one-in-a-million committee of Jen Jo, Debbie & Joel Waldon, Deb Kendall and Alex & Elvira Goldman who literally worked their tails off to make this event a huge success. We cannot thank them enough for all their work, laughs and dedication to creating a memorable competition.

Lots of championships to celebrate: Terra/Willow, Lisa/Sutter, Dana/Tater, Ava/Chatter, Karen/Gunnar, and Jody/Whisper. Congrats all!

If you were at the trial this weekend, please post your favorite pic below!

Our next CSS trial is May 25-26 in St. Paul:https://cpe.dog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/CSS05252024MNSouthPawsK9Academy-replacement.pdf See you there!
