April 26 - BVKA Member Obedience & Rally Fun Day

Get ready for the Cluster obedience and rally trials. Or just come have fun with your dog.

BVKA is again hosting an Obedience/Rally Fun Day. Date is Sunday, April 26th. The location is Country Classic Kennels, 9332 99th Ave NE, Arlington. This is Julie Germano's training building.

Each run will be 9 minutes in obedience. Rally will be a run-through in a course, of the level you chose. I'd like to start at 9, and end by 4. We can start with entering 1 to 3 runs per dog in obedience. In rally, 1 to 3 courses. If we end up with empty time slots, then we can always add more runs per dog. Rally will be in the afternoon only. Obedience will be in both rings in the morning, and one ring in the afternoon.

Over the weekend of January 31st and February 1st, BVKA held its Tracking Test at Chuckanut Farms in Bow.

We had seven tests, four Tracking Dog Tests (TD) and three Tracking Dog Excellent Tests (TDX).

Some exhibitors traveled from Canada and we had one from Oregon. Of the four TD tests, three passed; of the three TDX tests there were no successful tests. The weather played a major factor with heavy rain at times and gusty winds.

BVKA wants to thank all the volunteers for helping in successfully putting on the test session, without their assistance it would not be possible to give exhibitors the opportunity to title. Special thank you to Jan Wesen and her family members for allowing BVKA the opportunity to sponsor the tests on their farms.
