This past Saturday our Harley became the very first Czechoslovakian Vlcak anywhere in the world to finish her title in UKC Elite Nosework, a month shy of her 2nd birthday. She joins approximately 60 other dogs of all breeds to do so. In her 15-month trialing career from the start of her Novice Nosework trial to her very last Elite Nosework trial, Harley has placed 1st Place in Trial 11 times. This past Saturday she qualified in all four of her Elite Exterior and Interior searches, with time placements in three trials including one High in Trial!! We are incredibly proud of our Harley!!
Harley will continue to trial under NACSW and perhaps AKC in the future, but mainly just for fun. Her next big thing event on the horizon is her OFA hip and elbow screenings, which we have scheduled for the end of February. Fingers crossed!
Here you can also see Harley's final Elite Interior trial, the one that earned her a High in Trial with a completion under 2 minutes:
