I have been horribly delinquent on keeping the blog updated with our Scent Work trials of 2024, but fear not, we have certainly been busy with them!

A LONG overdue post on our last Scent Work trial of 2023, where Iris wrapped up an already incredible year with an absolute BANG, earning 6 Master-level qualifying scores, all of which were top-10 and 3 of which were top-4 placements, and most notably, a Master High-In-Trial award!!

Iris finishes off her Scentwork Excellent Overall title and gets her first two qualifying scores at the Master level!

12 searches in one weekend plus a bonus visit to our friends at High Desert Drents!

Iris’s genetics, training, and maturity just keep coming together better and better. She expertly performs in an Excellent level Interior and Buried trial!

Drents are not technically Spaniels in heritage or hunting style – but we had an absolute blast at our first full day of Spaniel Club training!

There’s not much I’d rather do on my birthday weekend than a scentwork trial with my girl!

A handling breakdown on Iris’s first Excellent-level search, and 4 more Advanced Q’s – finishing off her SCA and SBA titles!

6 Open Shows in 3 days at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego, CA – and a new record for Drentsche Patrijshonden!

Iris had a fantastic two days of AKC Scentwork trials as usual – 7 Qs, 4 placements, and finished her SEN, SWN, and SIA titles.
