We are doing a fundraiser for our new Nosework Club. Crate Name Plaques. Can be done in almost any colour combination. $12 each.

I will be posting a basic version of the rules for the nose work trial on December 14th. One of the main differences is that the hides are going to be UNKNOWN just like other nosework sports because I truly think that is the only way to give an exact depiction of the dog's ability to sniff something out. The HANDLER still makes the call. In LOST HUMAN search your dog can be handler by a friend or the judge!
Hides will be hidden with various degrees of difficulty depending on the level and you can ENTER IN ANY LEVEL THAT YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE FOR ODOR, PREY (rat) HUNT OR LOST ARTICLE. Lost human and challenges need to be level 1 as they are new.
And the traditional hunt for gerbils is being modified so that some trials will use mice, rats or quail. It's PREY HUNT. This will announced innthe premium.

Thank you to everyone who attended our trial. It's photos like these that make my heart warm. I have always prided myself on making newbies feel welcome and introducing as many people to Canine Sports as possible. Poppy the Whippit was our highest achieving newbie in the entire trial. She is taking home multiple new titles Plus high in class in many categories. Our club will always welcome any newcomers and educate as much as possible while having fun.
Thanks once again and we can't wait to see you in the new year. Keep sniffing!
