This trial is held in a soccer center on Sprintturf and our judge is Carol Smorch.  This is our annual laid-back tournament-only trial beginning with a Steeplechase/PSJ and Dog Agility Masters/PVP team classes on Saturday. Sunday classes include the  final two classes of the team classes followed by Grand Prix/PGP classes.

In addition to the usual prizes for the first place teams, special prizes are also awarded to the High-Scoring Rookie teams in the DAM and PVP tournament (a ‘rookie’ team is defined as any team containing at least one dog who is showing in Starters or P1 Standard).

Entries are unlimited.

In addition, this trial is held alongside a World Cynosport/APDT Rally Obedience trial hosted by My K9 Buddy.  Note that no additional dog registration is needed to enter a WCR trial;  your dog’s USDAA registration number works for both Agility and Rally-O.  For more information on entering that trial, see
