I just wanted to thank all of the Rocky Mountain Dog Stars Club members for hosting a wonderful trial last weekend at Yellowstone Dog Sports!! We had a great group of exhibitors from Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota and LUCKILY the weather cooperated and everyone was able to GET HERE and GET HOME with NO SNOW!! We had wonderful food all weekend thanks to club members Rachael Roper and Chef Carla and the other RMDS members who volunteered their time in concessions!! LOTS of help building courses. Great judge Traci Bruchok (I hope I spelled that correctly). LOTS of Novice Dogs and Handlers with several earning FIRST EVER Qs!! Cindy Herman brought a great agility cake. Caity Hall won the Halloween Crate decorating contest. Music by the LaBamba Dog. Bonnie Fauskee and Rip dressed up like Crayons (photos on YDS Facebook Page). Lots of other dog and handler costumes: ghouls, ghosts and NASCAR
Congrats to Tiffany Thovson and JAYDEN who earned their NATCH!! And after over 600 runs and some tough competition, the following dogs and handlers earned High in Trial awards:
ELITE - Gro Aasgaard and KYLIE from Calgary, OPEN - Mike Eggum and KIKO from Red Lodge, NOVICE - Bree Caldwell and SISSY from Helena, MIXED BREED - Ann Jussero and TEDDY from North Dakota, NON-HERDING BREED - Tiffany Thovson and JAYDEN from South Dakota.
Thanks to ALL exhibitors for the supportive atmosphere and really FUN Trial!!
