Over 35 dogs tested this year!

Mark Kitzelman, Show & Trial Secretary, walking with a purpose. He 's out walking the course before his rally run. Mark & his Aussie Watson picked up their RN at the Classic.

The first ASCA Rally offered in NM was a big success. This is Shawna Davis competing with Ace.

Spectators watching the duck arena - what a pretty background of open country behind them. (That red paneling is part of the PATD course)

Waiting for stock awards: Anne Shope, Linda McDaniel (sitting), Karen Tillia (standing), Steve Shope & John Knepper - just goofing off!

Lobo gave a big ole toy to any dog that WTCH'd. In this picture is new WTCH Contacts Points Blink N U Miss Me (handled by Dawna Sims) playing with her toy. Another dog earning their WTCH at this trial is WTCH Legends StarN Say GNite Gracie AFTDs (handled by Steve Shope). Gracie's toy is in a gazillion pieces and didn't get a photo opportunity:) - she sure did enjoy it! By the way, Dawna has 11 WTCHs and Steve has 11 WTCHs (darn overachievers:)!

Another Classic has come and gone. The sheep don't miss the trialers:)
