This year’s all tournament trial was a bit smaller than usual, but there were plenty of great runs to be had on judge Tammy Domico’s courses.   Both team tournaments had some real drama going as placements shifted around dramatically from class to class.  Final winners were:

Dog Agility Masters tournament:  “Mutt Crackers” with Portia/Laurene Galgano, Ringo Phire/Lynn Sigman, and Mouse/Tracey Luggiero

Performance Versatility Pairs tournament: “Wild Cards” with Jack/Sandy Morris, and Duke/Brad Kimmel.

Full results and course diagrams can be found below.

Wonderful & Wet, in that order, summarizes this year’s trial for Saturday & Sunday respectively.  Photographer Deedra Prigel was able to capture some of the wonderful on Saturday & you should check out her album of photos.  Most dogs loved the weather on Sunday — the handlers perhaps not so much — but there were still titles to be earned.  Congrats go to:
