We will be holding our Spring tests in Rochester, WA on May 20 & 21. 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. There’s no reason not to enter today!
Our judges will include Marillyn Douglas (Snohomish, WA), Betsy Fortman (Duvall, WA), Tom Quarles (Beavercreek, OR), Marie Quarles (Beavercreek, OR), and John Willmore (Federal Way, WA).
Saturday AM | Saturday PM | Sunday AM | Sunday PM | |
---|---|---|---|---|
IQ | Marillyn Douglas | Tom Quarles | Betsy Fortman | John Willmore |
NE | Tom Quarles | Marillyn Douglas | John Willmore | Marie Quarles |
JE | Marie Quarles | Betsy Fortman | Marillyn Douglas | Tom Quarles |
SE | Betsy Fortman | John Willmore | Marie Quarles | Betsy Fortman |

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

There will be a raffle! Bring raffle items and cash for tickets.
