Cascade ASC held their 5th Annual Combined Tracking test on March 9th 2025. 

We would like to thank ALL of our wonderful volunteers.  It takes two volunteers for each one tracking team, so thank you to everyone.  Also thank you to Sarah Kahn (WA) and Francis Keays (ID) for being great judges.

The Beginner Tracking Dog test was Friday March 7th.  We had 0/2 dogs pass, but both dogs showed great potential and will pass in the future. 

The combined test was Sunday March 9th and we had beautiful weather the whole weekend.  We had 1/3 dogs pass their TDU (Tracking Dog Urban) test.  With nice weather, a lot of people and off leash dogs were everywhere on school campus' which made it very difficult, but the two dogs that didn't quite make it did a great job.  We had 1/4 dogs pass their TD (Tracking Dog) test.  A great job done by all.  The best news is, BOTH of our TDX (Tracking Dog Excellent) dogs passed.  This test overall has a 20% pass rate, so great job to both of them.

Passing teams were:

Alison Johnston and Border Collie "Carly" for TDU

Katia Maraglia and Belgian Tervuren "Maya" for TD

Dan Douglas and Australian Shepherd "Etta" for TDX-2

Alison Johnston and Border Collie "Riley" for TDX
