Rivanna Police and Schutzhund Club Spring Trial!

Twenty teams came from as far away as Florida, Missouri, and Illinois, not to mention Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New York to participate in our 2004 Spring Trial with SV judge Günter Lanfer on a cool and mostly sunny April weekend.  The twenty teams earned 16 new or repeat titles.  Surprisingly challenging tracking conditions on Sunday, and the usual sorts of trial unpredictability prevented a perfect weekend, but all the dogs performed well, and all of the handlers can be proud of their dogs and their work.
