This is a *little* late, but THANK YOU to our judges Brigitte Hole and Kirsten Locke, volunteers, and handlers who made our October 1 & 2 agility trials a success!
Special shout outs to Sarah Knight for organizing our Friday fun runs, ensuring all day-of jobs were filled, and that everyone was fed! Anne Fletcher for diving into the deep end of CKC agility and stepping in as acting Trial Secretary, which is a responsibility that starts and ends way beyond the two days of actual competition. Hildi Steuart kept course-building organized and on time. Lynne Johaneson got everyone parked bright and early.
Congratulations to Hazel Arnold and Christina Shalaby for winning the volunteer draws! And many, many, more people stepped up as course builders, ring crew, scribes, leash runners, and gate stewards. We LITERALLY couldn't do it without your help!
Some of our other supporters couldn't attend but we missed you and appreciate all of the help you've provided over the years.
We can't publish next year's agility dates until we're approved by the CKC... but stay tuned for details around our 'usual' April and October weekends 😉 We hope to make next year bigger and better than ever. If you're struggling to earn those elusive PAD Qs, you might want to keep an eye open for our 2023 trials...
Last but not least: the link to photos from the weekend can be found on K & C Photography's page:

Kelly and Chris are friends who have spent many a day and night photographing both animals and the night sky. Recently we have started photographing dog sport events and are having an absolute blast s...Looking forward to our agility weekend! If you’re able to come to the Barn on Friday to help pull out equipment ahead of the Fun Match and trial, please let us know! We could use some help around 3:30pm/4pm on Friday to bring out and set up the equipment. Shouldn’t take too long 😊
In addition to our Oct 1-2 CKC Agility Trials in Kelowna (opening tomorrow!), we're hosting unofficial fun runs on Friday, September 30th! Open to dogs of all breeds, mixed breeds, registered or unregistered with the CKC. A great opportunity to warm up before the trial or to practice in a trial-like environment. Big thanks to Sarah Knight for organizing!

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.
