Calm waters, sunny skies and a light breeze greeted those who were present at the PWDCTC Water Trials in Coon Rapids, MN today. Dogs and handlers showed off the results of their summer training and supporters applauded their efforts. Our tireless volunteers made the day run smoothly and Judge Lauren McDermott did a great job encouraging handlers and dogs to do their very best. We are hoping for another wonderful day at the water on Day 2 of our trials. Fingers and paws are crossed that those who were "oh, so close" today have a successful day tomorrow.
