Our 2025 trial will be July 26 and 27. Our goal with this is to avoid conflicting with STP (7/12-13) and the summer specialty shows, offering you another fun weekend with your dogs!

Stay tuned for announcements about additional events and youth opportunities!

I am thinking of performing targeted fundraising to purchase a BAER machine. Why? I received the following message from my vet office who performs this test.

“Good morning! Apologies, the first puppy cost is roughly 287$ and then every additional puppy is roughly 138$ in cost, it is not 300-480 per dog. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!”

If we were able to offer affordable BAER testing on Fridays ahead of our trials, is this something of which you you avail yourselves? $839 to perform baseline testing for a litter of five pups seems outrageously excessive. I really want to make it easy for everyone to do appropriate testing.

Thank you for your input!

PS, the reversal of the price quotes totally puts my teeth on edge, too.

A massive THANK YOU to Pamela J. Larson for her sponsorship of Go-To-Ground events at Tahoma Terrier Trial! I apologize this was not announced at the trial, but we only received this on Tuesday, July 23.

I want everyone to know how much this is appreciated and how it helps us to ensure we provide a high-quality trial experience for each of you, every year.

THANK YOU again, Pam!

As nose work is now a sanctioned event in the JRTCA, you may want to learn how to train this with your dog.

In case you missed it, we have an expert offering a class to you on Saturday, July 20, for just $10 per person. Proceeds support our ability to offer youth/child participation at no cost to them or their families!

Learn from our expert, Anthony Williams, how to train your dog for tracking and nose work. Sign up for his seminar this Saturday!
