Twin Oaks Dog Club Experience: 

The event started on Saturday, March 21st, bright and early with the AD (Ausdauerprüfung) test. The AD is always an enjoyable test to host, and we were thrilled to see some familiar faces at this portion of the event. We want to give a special shout out to Natalie Moxley, who finished her first AD with Ellie Canine Extreme! The weather was beautiful and set an excellent tone for the rest of the week. With every lap, you could see the joy and excitement of the competitors increase.

March Hulky vom Holtkamper Hof ZAP 34After the AD exam, we moved onto the Zap test, also known as the temperament test. This portion of the event had eleven competitors. It was not only exciting to watch but also educational for everyone who participated. Those who competed did phenomenally. Raul showed with Hulky and Colby showed with Maple, both representing Canine Extreme! Another special shout out to Lucas Moxley, who competed with Famous Canine Extreme in this event. At nine years old, Lucas is a very talented junior handler with Canine Extreme and has been working with Famous since he was a puppy. It was incredible to see the smile on his face when he passed the Zap test with Famous. We are happy to announce that everyone passed the Zap test! The handlers and dogs showed great connection and control, proving how hard they had worked to get there.

Winding down from the Zap test, we had a light break and then went into the practice for the breed survey. You could see the nerves, focus, and excitement on the contestant's faces once practice ended, and we headed into the breed survey. This portion of the event consisted of three dogs, and we were all delighted with their performance. After wrapping up the breed survey, the remaining contestants hung around for a small gathering. We want to give another special thank you to the Canine Extreme Team and Volunteers, who helped host a small dinner for everyone to enjoy.

With the work of our team, judges, and volunteers, the classes proceeded smoothly. This continued throughout the day as the age groups increased.
