October 1-2, 2022: CKC Agility trials open to all breeds/mixed breed dogs with appropriate CKC ID numbers in Kelowna, BC. Entries open September 6th via Agility Rocks! This is a smaller trial than we've had the past several times, but we hope to make it up to you by offering unofficial fun runs on Friday, Sept 30th (details coming soon!) and back to normal in April, 2023. Judges: Brigitte Hole and Kirsten Locke. Premium can be found on our website: whippetclubofbc.ca/index.php/events/ and soon on Canuck Dogs.
We hope you can join us! WCOBC always strive to offer a welcoming and friendly event atmosphere where handlers of all experience levels are encouraged to participate.
We'll post the flyer for the Sept 30 fun runs shortly. These were a huge hit back in the day and a good opportunity for venue and obstacle familiarization ahead of the trial. Both toy and treat rewards will be allowed in the ring for the fun runs.
For Fun Only (FFO) runs will still be accepted Oct 1-2 but only toys are allowed for these as per CKC rules.

Wow, what a weekend! THANK YOU to our judges, Seanna O'Neill and Kirsten Locke, and to our amazing volunteer committee, for making our April agility trials happen. Special mention to our Trial Secretary, Sheila Brad--sadly this was her last event with us as she's moving provinces. Sheila, we will miss your presence (and Ryder!) at our events! Grateful to all of the day-of volunteers and competitors who really step up every spring and fall to ensure everyone has fun and we stay ahead of schedule. Congratulations to Bethany and Archie for winning Kirsten's Judges Choice Award on Saturday and Rio with handler Sarah for winning Seanna's pick on Sunday. And (drumroll 🥁)The winners of our volunteer draw this weekend were Linda and Lynne!
