——————————————-
There are other trials going on, but these are the ones that are in the Winter – Spring time frame or have confirmed dates that I could find. I’m almost done running updates on NWDog.org and we’ll have more solid information after the first of the year. For now, this will have to do. 
Enjoy the fall weather and tie down your lighter items, this upcoming storm will be interesting.
Thank you for posting this. Ever since my first trial this summer I’ve been looking forward to more shows in the next season. (Now that my dog has stopped trying to get around me and started to work with me a little more.) Now I’ve got some actual dates to put on my calendar!
Sure!! i’ll be updating NWDog.org over the holidays and will have a little more info on these trials and some that are just being sanctioned now.
I’ll also be updating Agility and lastly Obedience. Stay tuned!
The PackLeader training schedule mentions something about an AHBA trial in Winlock WA on 3/6/10. Do you know anything about this one?

Nice write up. I found your site on Google and found it very interesting.
Wonderful! I do need to up date this page though.
