Well, our spring trial is now complete.   We had 6 entries, all of which
were going for new titles and all performed fantastic routines for our
prestigious judge, Carole Patterson and received their titles!  Asheley
Winters entered Pascha for two titles - the BH and the VPG I.  She did
the BH routine late Saturday afternoon - she passed and therefore was
able to continue on to the next day and to do the VPG I routine.  Her
scores were 86 tracking, 84 obedience and 80 in protection for a total of  
250 points and VPG I title.  Great job Asheley!  
Denise Mersino with Benta came out on the trial field first thing
Saturday morning for the BH.  She has not been on a trial field since 2001
but you sure couldn't tell it!  She did a fantastic job of handling Benta
and passed the obedience portion with plenty of points to continue on to
the traffic portion which she also passed with no problems!  So
congratulations to Denise and Benta!  We're sure we will be seeing more
of this great team on the trial field!
Glen and Yoda trialing for their first VPG I routine.  Glen, being
determined to score very high with Yoda scored a very impressive 97 V in
the tracking and continued with 93 points in obedience and 96 in
protection!  These team is definitely one to watch out for on the regional
and national trial circuit!
The final two were the FH titles - the FIRST FH titles that Olympus
Schutzhund Club members have earned!  Cheryl and Tiger ran the FH track
laid by Byron Winters on Saturday afternoon.  When he laid the track the
sky's were overcast, the wind was blowing and it was 90 degrees!  The
terrain was as dry as it could get, the field was short dry wild grass that
was about 6 inches deep mixed with wheat grass that was as tall as 12-18
inches!  Tiger ran the track at 6 pm and the temperature went up to 92
degrees, the sun was out scorching hot, and the wind was gale force!  Tiger
wasn't sure if he was out there to track or what!  He did however settle
into the track, had some minor problems with a few of the corners but
over all did a great job and scored 91 points!  The judge said that this was
by far the hardest terrain that she has ever judged an FH track.  
Joanna and Eiger's track was Sunday morning, laid by Glen Crawford at 6
am and run at 9 am.  It proved to be just as difficult at Tiger's track -
Eigers track was laid in grass that was mowed two days previous and went
into some of the worst alfalfa terrain I have seen!  Eiger also had a
couple problems but overcame them impressively and scored 90 points!
CONGRATULATIONS to all!!!
