Red Top Results!

The full results from the Red Top Spring Fling can be found ----> HERE.

Despite the chilly, windy, rainy weather, the trial went flawlessly from start to finish. All of the people that helped out ... from the judges, to the setout crew, to the scribes, the organizers, the hosts, the people who provided food, etc., it was very professionally done and made for a fun trial.

Here are a few photos:

The handlers' meeting was held early, and the handlers were asked to help find some rocks to put in the bags to create the shed ring.
