The skies held up and the sun even began to peak through for the 10th Anniversary East Coast Regional Championships! There were 21 dogs registered for the event! It was quite an event and Bushido K9 did not dissapoint!

Thank you to Bushido K9 for hosting such a great event, thank you to the hard working decoys without whom we would not have a sport & thank you to all the competitors who were willing to step onto the field and show off themselves and their dogs. Hopefully everyone learned something, felt the judging was fair and consistent, and walked away with a better idea of what they need to work on for next time.
