Congratuations to the 7th Annual Crystal's Spirit award winner.  This year's winner was Erik Kessler and Desi, an Australian Shepherd.  Erik is a junior handler, and besides working his butt off as a volunteer, he was a great, positive handler with the right attitude all weekend long.

Pictures coming soon!

August 3

Hello, Everyone!  Thank you for entering the August 11-12, 2012 CPE trial hosted by AgileDogs Agility Training.  This is your entry confirmation. Your individual entry confirmation has already come in a separate email.  Please be sure to look at it closely and let me know of any errors or move ups.  We have 187 dogs entered for 560 runs on Saturday and 545 runs on Sunday, and will be taking day of show entries, for $14 per run, so tell your friends to come! 

We are going to do our best to move the trial along efficiently while making sure everyone has a safe and successful run and gets their time in the ring.  Walk throughs will be timed at 8 minutes all weekend long.  We will be counting on our volunteers (thank you so, so much!) to help make the weekend go smoothly.  Please listen to both the general briefing in the morning and the judge’s class briefings for ways we can make the trial run more efficiently.

Awards:   

Perfect weekend rosettes will be awarded to teams achieving Q’s in all 10 runs.

The seventh (wow!) annual Crystal’s Spirit Award is a judge’s choice award, given to the dog/handler team that aren’t necessarily the fastest or get the most Q’s, but that has the most fun and the handler gets the most out of the dog.

Check-in, Measuring, and Starting Times:

Saturday:         Check-in, measuring, and day of show entries will be from 7:15 – 7:45
                        General / Judges’ briefing 7:45;  First dog on the line immediately after walk throughs.

Sunday            Check-in, measuring, and day of show entries will be from 7:15 – 7: 45
                        General / Judges’ briefing 7:45;  First dog on the line immediately after walk throughs.

Measuring: See the website (www.agiledogs.net) for the list of dogs who will need to get measured at this trial.

CATALOGS:

Only a few copies of the run catalog will be available at the trial.  The catalog will be available for download and printing on Wednesday night at www.agiledogs.net

There will be NO measuring of dogs AFTER the Judges Briefing begins each day – ALL DOGS WITHOUT A PERMANENT HEIGHT CARD MUST BE MEASURED before the Judges’ Briefing in order to show that day – THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.

Volunteers:

The volunteer schedule will be posted on the AgileDogs website by Thursday.  Thanks to all who volunteered!  If you want to volunteer or have questions, please email Lisa Norris, jumpinbeandogs@hotmail.com .  Please do not worry about conflicts between classes you’re working and classes you’re running in.  All workers will be accommodated.  You can move your dog within a class to make sure you have time to concentrate on having a successful run with your 4-footed partner.

If your job for a given class is timer, scribe, assistant scribe, or gate steward, please report to the chief ring steward when the briefing for the class begins, so you can prepare for your job and so the judge can brief you if needed – thanks!  If your job is anything not already mentioned, you can report any time before or during the walk through.

Food: 

We are pleased to again have Pork n Jojo’s (a.k.a. Eric and Joanne Lapine), and they will be offering breakfast and lunch all weekend.  Volunteers will get lunch tickets good at the food vendor. 

PHOTOGRAHPER:

Penny J Wills Photography, www.pennyjwillsphotography.com, will be on site both days taking action shots of our dogs.

DIRECTIONS TO SUGAR BUSH FARM - 760 East Road, Stephentown, NY  12168

 From the East: Take the Mass Pike to the end. Continue on I-90 to the next exit, B-3 in Canaan, NY. At the end of the ramp go right, 22 North. In New Lebanon, Route 20 and 22 run together for a short while. Make sure you stay on Route 22 by bearing left just before the a boarded-up gas station on the left. Continue approximately 4 miles to the traffic light in Stephentown where Routes 22 and 43 intersect. Go straight to continue on 22 North. Follow Directions from the 22/43 Intersection below.

From the West: Take I-90 East to Exit 11E - Route 20 East. Continue on Route 20 East until it joins Route 22 North. Follow Directions from the 22/43 Intersection below.

 Alternate directions from the west (takes less time, but has hilly and curvy sections just North of Stephentown): from the non-toll section of I-90 take exit 8, Route 43 Eastbound. Follow for approximately 8 miles to the intersection of routes 66 and 43 in Sand Lake. Turn right at the light to stay on route 43. Follow for approximately 10 more miles through Stephentown to the light at the intersection of Routes 22 and 43. Turn left at the light to stay on route 43.  Go approximately 1/2 mile on Route 43; just past Dave's Mini Mart and Gas station on the left will be Provost Road on the right (it's a dirt road). A Dog's Best Friend is the first house on the right; go past the house to the training building and ring area.

 From the North: From Hoosick Falls you will take Route 22 South. Go through the town of Berlin.  Approximately 3 miles south of the Berlin Jr./Sr. High School on your left is Giles Road or County Route 33.  Take that road, it takes a sharp right at a horse farm (you’ll see tan buildings and split rail fencing on the right). You will go over a little bridge, you'll see farm buildings and straight ahead on the right you will see the training building - white domed roof with tan walls and windows. There is a driveway marked by two metal fence posts just before the building; follow that driveway to the ring and parking.

 Directions from the 22/43 Intersection: Heading North on Route 22, you'll go up a hill where 22 becomes 2 lanes. It goes back down to one lane after you get to the top of the hill and you will pass a mobile home park on your right. Just after that there is a gray house with a small satellite dish. The road right next to that house is Giles Road or County Route 33.  Take that road, it takes a sharp right at a horse farm (you’ll see tan buildings and split rail fencing on the right). You will go over a little bridge, you'll see farm buildings and straight ahead on the right you will see the training building - white domed roof with tan walls and windows. There is a driveway marked by two metal fence posts just before the building; follow that driveway to the rings and parking.
