We will be holding our Fall tests in Rochester, WA on October 22 & 23. We are offering four tests — two on Saturday, and two on Sunday.
The Test Chair is Jan Pool. The Test Secretary is Sandra Distefano.
The Premium List is out!
Our judges will include Lia Bijsterveld (Richmond, BC), Sue Ellestad (Moses Lake, WA), Harriet Haydon (Puyallup, WA), Jill Petersen (Kenmore, WA), Sil Sanders (Stanwood, WA), and Blue Sandrock (Tacoma, WA).
| Saturday AM | Saturday PM | Sunday AM | Sunday PM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IQ | Harriet Haydon | Lia Bijsterveld | Sue Ellestad | Harriet Haydon |

† Judging assignment updated since first posted.
Note that at these tests we are offering the new Novice Earthdog class. NE is very similar to IQ (10-foot, one-turn tunnel), except that neither the judge nor the handler may help the dog after the release. Novice Earthdog is a titling class: two passes under two different judges earns a NE title.
At our tests, dogs who have not yet earned an Earthdog title may be entered in any combination of IQ, NE, and/or JE.
Overnight camping and RV/trailer parking are available, RSVP required. Please note that there are no hookups. Contact Curtis Lake for Reservations 253-720-8234
