Wow, what a weekend at our Aldergrove SDDA trial! A huge thank you to judge Pam Koiner for setting some fun and challenging hides all weekend, and also for considering the dogs and the blazing sun and changing the search area when needed!
There was never a dull moment at this trial - between the loose horse (thankfully during lunch break and it didn't come anywhere near any dogs), and the obsessed barn cat who really wanted to try all the search areas!
Despite the heat, there were so many smiling faces and happy dogs who came out to play this awesome game! We were incredibly happy to give out 3 brand new Advanced titles, several new Games titles, a CHAMP and a Master CHAMP ribbon!
A gigantic round of applause to all our volunteers who really saved the day and kept things flowing. We really couldn't do this without you and I'm constantly amazed by how helpful and generous the NW community is.
Last but certainly not least, a big shout out to Bones Pet Store in Vancouver (Kits) and One Bite Dog Treats in Mission for their generous donations of goodies for us to give away this weekend!! There were alot of happy people, and likely very happy dogs that will be the recipient of those goodies!
The next K9 Scentinels trials will be Sept. 19th in North Saanich, and Oct. 25th in Langley. Hope to see you all again there!

Our June 13-14th SDDA trial at Twin Creeks is scheduled to open for entry tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7pm. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for SDDA to send it out to RPs, but they have promised it should be soon. It is a lottery for the first 12 hours after opening, so no rush to enter in the first minute. If the opening date needs to be pushed, we will still honour the 12 hour window.
In the meantime, here is the pertinent information.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our SDDA trial in Agassiz, BC! It was a beautiful sunny weekend with gorgeous mountain views, and hopefully was fun for everyone! We were happy to see so many smiling faces and to give out so many ribbons, including:
- 4 new Started titles
- 5 new Advanced titles
- 1 CHAMPION title
- and 3 MASTER CHAMPION titles!

A huge thank you to our wonderful judge Lou-Anne Lambert for coming out from Alberta, not only to set fun and challenging hides for us, but also to mentor our local Apprentice Judge Lane Michie - who made many Started and Advanced teams happy this weekend as well!

Thanks to Bosleys, Oly's, and Paw Street Market for the wonderful donations that made up our Judges Choice/Screw the Q gift bags!

Last but never the least, many thanks to all our wonderful volunteers and club members for keeping things running smoothly all weekend, and of course a big shout out to my co-hosts Kathleen and Barb who helped make this incredible weekend happen!

Now that the dust has settled a bit, we'd like to thank everyone who came out to our trial at Vancouver this past Sunday, especially our judge Danielle Getzie, shadow judge Debbie Wixalbrown and all the amazing volunteers who made the trial run so smoothly!
A special thank you to Simply Natural Raw Pet Food for the wonderful Judge's gift bags and samples for the day.
We were very excited to send home ribbons to 3 brand new Advanced titles:
- Chizuko and Caia
- Chizuko and PKC
- Nicola and Charlie
And so many teams who added more Advanced titles to their nosework journey! Congratulations to all and we hope to see some of you on Vancouver Island for our last Excellent trial for 2025.
