Trial Chairman Linda Grskovich catches us up on the happenings at this trial:
“Oriole Dog Training Club held its second NACSW sanctioned nose work trial event on December 11, 12 and 13, 2015 at Camp Tockwough in Worton, Maryland. For December, the weather was amazingly warm at times hitting the mid-60s. We had fog in the morning, which helped by leaving a nice layer of moisture for the exterior searches. The rest of the day was beautiful. The Certifying Official was Troy Mills from Colorado, who enjoyed our great weather. Our judges were Michelle Goodman, Christina McCauley and Mark Carr, all from Maryland. The volunteers were awesome. Many thanks to the nose work community and friends who volunteered and supported the Oriole event. Thank you to Don Grskovich who organized the volunteer effort and flow so each day ended ahead of schedule! The weekend resulted in 17 NW3 titles, 3 NW3 elite titles, 28 NW3 Element titles and 15 NW2 titles. For all results, please check the NACSW web page http://www.nacsw.net/trial-results/trial/2476
It is also nice to say that all of the Oriole members who competed came home in ribbons. Donna Sapp and her Border Terrier Colin earned a NW3 and NW3 elite. Colin became the third Border Terrier in NACSW to win a NW3 Elite title doing so on his 12th Birthday! Hazel Troendle and her Border Collie, Fiber got their NW3. Carol Jennings and Stella competed in NW2 on Saturday and went home with a 3rd place overall ribbon in the Interior search element.”
