Guess what Finn has planned for September…....trialing at the KSG Premier trial that the Crew is hosting in Gallatin, TN on Friday, September 6! We are exited to be offering this Premier only trial! Cindy Martin will be judging for us. There are three ways to participate:

1. Dogs with overall Excellent titles qualify.

2. Dogs who have Excellent Interiors and Excellent Exteriors titles can compete and accumulate points toward Premier titles but can not actually earn a title until they have completed their Overall Excellent title.

3. Dogs who do not qualify but whose handlers would like to try the Premier searches and run them For Exhibition Only (FEO).

THIS SHOULD BE FUN!

You can find more information about the Premier level in the KSG Rulebook at k9scent games.net. We hope to get a Premium out for this trial in a couple of weeks.

K-9 Scent Crew is delighted to announce our upcoming K9 Scent Games trial, scheduled for October 7th and 8th in Springfield, Tennessee, with judge Allison Andrews.

We are excited to offer a new and unique trial site for this event- the Springfield-Robertson County Airport.

We will be offering Novice and Advanced classes on Saturday and Advanced and Excellent classes on Sunday.

Please be aware that the Springfield-Robertson County Airport is an active facility for small aircraft. We believe it will be a super fun trial site. However, while the level of activity will be less than during the week, there might be aircraft taking off and landing on the airfield. The potential for increased noise distractions and the impact on your dog's ability to search should be considered when deciding to enter the trial. We will make every effort to minimize the impact as much as possible.

Stay tuned for more information. We hope you will join us for this exciting event! See you there!

We are sad to announce that we are canceling the K9 Scent Games Excellent/Premier trial that we had planned for September.

We were recently informed that the rental terms for the site we had reserved for the trial had changed. Unfortunately, these changes make it impossible for us to hold the trial. We have been unsuccessful in identifying a substitute site on this short notice. We feel it is important to announce its cancelation so that those planning to attend can make alternate plans if desired. We were looking forward to this trial and hope we will be able to do something similar to this in the future.

On the bright side, we have exciting plans for a K9 Scent Games Novice/Advanced/Excellent trial the weekend of October 7th and 8th. We will be announcing details in the very near future! SAVE THE DATE...we have a fabulous new trial location!

Wow! What a fun weekend…our second KSG trial! We had outstanding judges, volunteers, and scent work teams. The trial site offered some unique search areas and the judges took advantage of them to set challenging and fun searches. Lots of successes were had! There were even parking lot shenanigans on Sunday.

Special thanks to Cindy Martin and Pam Rogers for judging for us. We are so fortunate to have such great talent to help us.

We are hard at work at planning our next event(s)! Hope to see y’all there!

What do these two girls have in common (other than being adorable)? They both qualified for the 2023 NASDA Invitational Showcase by ranking in the top five of their breeds for various classes they competed in during 2022. This year the Invitational will be in Montana. However, in 2024 it will be in Tennessee or a surrounding state. Come join Addie and Finn at the K-9 Scent Crew NASDA Trial, March 11 and 12 in Castalian Springs, TN , and accumulate points for the 2024 Invitational.
