This weekend wrapped up a very busy December for Search Tall.

The first two Friday's I held Mock Trial Events at two locations in Jupiter to help complete my NACSW Certifying Official requirements. Many thanks to all that came to help and search.

This weekend was extensive! It started on Friday with a Coaching Day in Plantation, FL at an Equestrian Park. There were two sessions NW2/NW3/Master/Detective Group and NW1/Novice/Advanced Group. I enjoyed working with the 14 teams that attended. The site was amazing and I hope to be back again to search with my dogs and for some more coaching opportunities.

Saturday was a AKC Fetch Test co-hosted and co-judged with HumaneK9 Dog Training LLC in Plantation, FL. Marni assembled a fabulous committee who were great to work with and provided some delicious refreshments. Thanks to all the volunteers; this event could not have gone any smoother and it was a pleasure to be a part of it. A great group of teams came out to have fun with their dogs and there were many qualifying runs and titles earned.

The following day I headed down to South West Ranches, FL to run in my first AKC Tracking Test hosted by Miami Obedience Club with Swagger. It was the first time I had been entered in a test but we ended up running a really nice track and found the glove at the end so Swagger now has a TD title and I am looking forward to more with him! Appreciative of MOC for gathering such a great group to put on this test, hope I can help at the next one.

What a fun way to end the month and year! Looking forward to 2025 for more coaching days and other events to keep the South Florida sport dog community engaged!

Shameless brag for my baby boy Swagger!

Deleon Springs, FL Elite was his second Elite trial and we found 15/19 hides and even came in 2nd Place and Pronounced in the Fire Ring search, 9th Place Overall and was the smallest dog in the top 10 dogs.

Very proud of him and his work today. Great stamina and accuracy all day. So much fun searching with him! Can't believe just last year he competed in his first NW3 trial at this same site and earned a Qualifier.

Here is his Fire Ring search, he definitely took an interesting path and it surprised the heck out of me when I found out he actually came in 2nd Place on this one.

2nd Place search

I need help! It's been requested that I complete my Mock Trial Videos sooner than later for NACSW CO Training and I still need NW1 and NW2 Vehicle and Interior searches and one NW3 search (either Vehicles if I can rouse them or an Exterior)

So local nosework people I need a couple groups of people to meet me for some blind trial style searches.

Friday, Dec 6th and Friday, Dec 13th! Both days will be in the Jupiter area. I need NW1 - NW3 level dogs for this. If you are scared of running blind or I might be able to use you as Dog in White and someone to video the searches too!

I will need around six teams to run blind searches and 1 DIW for each day. Please send me a message if you are available one or both days.

There was an NACSW NW1 & NW2 Odessa, FL this past weekend. It was the first trial of the season in Florida and even though I wasn't there the Search Tall spirit was strong with the few teams that participated.

Maggie & Nellie and Jane & Gunner were two of only six teams to pass the NW1 and did it with style! Team Nellie went High in Trial and Team Gunner took home Third Overall. Swagger is very proud to call these two some of his best buddies!

Honorable mention to Rosie & Heidi for passing 4/5 of the NW2 searches. Missing just one hide in a strong three hide converging odor problem in a very windy exterior search. Congratulations on the 3rd place container search!

So proud of all of you and congratulations!

Two weekends ago I had my last AKC Scent Work judging assignment of the year at Jupiter-Tequesta Dog Club in Jupiter, FL. It was the clubs first SW trial so just one trial each day Novice - Excellent with Exterior, Interior and Container elements.

I was so happy to see more than half of the trial entries were in Novice! Congratulations to all the teams who stepped up to the start line with their dogs, especially to those first timers.

Lots of qualifiers and placements and here are some trial swag pictures: Storey, Aries & Kai, Marni, Phoenix & Bodhi, Terri & Willow and Cindy & Ravyn. Special congratulations to Kaaren & Connor for earning Novice High in Trial both days!
