We've been trying to get into an AKC Scentwork trial since September 2017. We were wait listed for every trial. Finally got into a trial and beyond happy we did! Leonardo only needed 2 Q's for his SCN Title but ended up with 3 Q's since we weren't able to move up to Advanced. Leonardo did a fantastic job and earned a Q in Novice Containers & a Q in Novice Interiors on Saturday April 13, 2019 and 2 Q's in Novice Containers on April 14, 2019. He had 0 Faults for ALL of his runs! Our judges (Dr. Nancy Almann & Tim Vaillancourt) were AMAZING and I received great feedback on my boy as well as my handling. DOTCORNY put on a very organized & well run trial at a beautiful location in Rush, NY.

Leonardo went BOB X4, GR1 X2, GR2 X2, earned TWO "Qs" in Handler Discrimination, Two First Place awards in Handler Discrimination, TWO TOTAL DOG AWARDS & TWO HIGH IN TRIAL!!! A huge Thank You to the following Judges for recognizing my very special boy & for the nice comments about his "Nice Tight Feet", "Superb Condition", and "OMG look at those Muscles".
