The premium is now posted for our annual spring trial. To keep everyone as safe as possible, this trial is being held in the open air barn at Hog Dog Productions in Millersville, MD. Because of the pandemic, we waited until we were sure of good trends in numbers statewide. Note that this means you only have a few weeks to get your entry in for the trial.

This site offers plenty of room to run your dog when you’re not in the ring as well as parking for cars, tent campers, and RV’ers.

Our judge is Ashley Anderson .

Make sure you review the revised trial procedures for COVID-19 avoidance so that you understand what we’ll all need to do to keep everyone safe.

Entry fees for the titling classes are the typical low cost of $14 per titling class. This trial also features qualifiers for 2 of the 4 tournaments for the 2021 World Cynosport Games (aka the USDAA Nationals) located in Nashville, Tennessee when we hopefully have the SARS-COV-2 virus under control by then.

As with all USDAA trials, entries are unlimited. Actually… that’s no longer true of all USDAA trials since the rule changes, but *this* one is unlimited 😊

Deedra Prigel of Dee Prigel Photos was on site for much of the day on Sunday. Her pictures capture last weekend’s gorgeous weather, the lush color of an outdoor trial in the Mid-Atlantic, the picturesqueness of the site with its cornfield backdrop, and of course our dogs! Be sure to take a look 🙂

Finally, full results for each day are available:

Because of SARS-COV-2, we will not be having printed coursemaps this weekend. Courses will be posted on this website each morning at 4am. There will be an official posted course at the site as well if you want to bring your smartphone/tablet to capture it there.

All trial documents for the Mid-Atlantic MADness Fall trial are now available for viewing/download:

The premium is now posted for our annual fall trial at the Gamber Fire  Company Fairgrounds in Gamber, MD.

This site offers plenty of room to run your dog when you’re not in the ring as well as parking for cars, tent campers, and RV’ers. (Note: this is one of the three remaining OUTDOOR USDAA trials in this area and it occurs at a GREAT time of year at a very friendly RV site with electric hookups available.

Our judge is Mike Murphy. 

Since in these COVID-19 times we have *no* idea what to expect entry-wise, we’re going with a simple, 1 judge, 1 ring format.  However… if the entry pleasantly surprises us we can easily expand back into a 2 ring and even 2 judge format.  

Make sure you review the revised trial procedures for COVID-19 avoidance so that you understand what we’ll all need to do to keep everyone safe.

Entry fees for the titling classes are the typical low cost of $14 per titling class. This trial also features qualifiers for 2 of the 4 tournaments for the 2021 World Cynosport Games (aka the USDAA Nationals) located who knows where in a country which hopefully has the SARS-COV-2 virus under control by then.  Hey – we can all dream;  come to our field of dreams and dream with us 🙂

As with all USDAA trials, entries are unlimited. Actually… that’s no longer true of all USDAA trials since the rule changes, but *this* one is unlimited 😊
