Yes, one day there will be an NACSW trial in Texas as we now have also besides Jason and myself - we have Mickey S. in Plano, Emily P. in Houston (first dog in Texas to get an NW1 - a darling 10 year old Dachshund name Henrietta. Pearl and I are working on our NW2 techniques, which will take us some time as those long drives sure do kind of insist you get it right. Thank you for all that you do, would love to see some cool weather, so keep the light on for us!

I have a new apprec...Thanks for commenting, Julie.<br /><br />I have a new appreciation for the hard work that goes into bringing K9 Nose Work to a new region. In Southern California we had high awareness and interest in this great activity. In Minnesota, K9 Nose Work is not as well known or understood and it's been slowly gathering momentum, not exploding as I had expected after so many years spent in SoCal aka K9 Nose Work country. This is why it's important for all of us in the K9 Nose Work community to work together to raise general awareness for the activity and sport. As soon as people know it and their dogs experience it, they are hooked.<br /><br />It would be fun to do a nose work pilgrimage like Saturn owners used to do - get all of us together in a big sniffing caravan!<br /><br />Great job getting Texas fired up about K9 Nose Work, Julie! If you ever get to searching all of the states, sniff us out in Minneapolis!<br /><br />Happy Sniffing!Jeff McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634038342280050377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958112649912191833.post-12296683355612136642013-05-21T16:08:12.096-07:002013-05-21T16:08:12.096-07:00We were on 35W heading north... wish I could remem...We were on 35W heading north... wish I could remember where we pulled off the freeway. Probably somewhere close to Iowa... My poor keys have probably seen their last turn in the ignition :(<br /><br />We look forward to another nose work road trip, we'll certainly sniff your way if and when it happens!<br /><br />Happy Sniffing!Jeff McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634038342280050377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958112649912191833.post-34955214364510278172013-05-21T01:37:21.468-07:002013-05-21T01:37:21.468-07:00Jeff, thank you kindly for the mention of my worki...Jeff, thank you kindly for the mention of my working and playing in Texas.Sharing K9 Nose Work is still an emotional and proud moment when I get to witness the endless amount of dogs I touch and see in my classes. I a moved when I see the dog's break through and enjoy the hunt with confidence and zeal. K9 NW has a momentum like no other activity and I revel in being able to explore and pursue with my darling NW1 Pearl E. Girl and share the mad science of odor with my students while enticing all to be 14 and get out and about chasing our illusive friend called odor. I am beside myself to read that Atlas has once again out done himself as I know Jason is too. That fine pup started with me and I knew those adoring blonde eye lashes would settle one day and be at peace through K9 Nose Work. I am proud for you Jason and of you. Beautiful story Jeff - I am moved to do a search in all 50 of our great states and revel in seeing this beautiful nation through my dogs nose.Julie Eskoff CPDT-KA CNWIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242223027732661182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958112649912191833.post-35670000048382630802013-05-16T11:33:43.551-07:002013-05-16T11:33:43.551-07:00Thanks Jeff - we will keep an eye out for your key...Thanks Jeff - we will keep an eye out for your keys! What route were you driving? Yes, wind is a feature we know & love in these here parts. Have to come South & visit with your best NW dog.

Definitely plan on nose work in every state you drive through next year and share your experience with us!<br /><br />I know that the founders, some of the NACSW faculty, and some of the more well-traveled competitors in the sport have searched many a rest stop all across the country! It would be great to hear from others which locations they've searched throughout their travels.<br /><br />Happy Sniffing!Jeff McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634038342280050377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958112649912191833.post-81091317524387746362013-04-14T07:00:36.612-07:002013-04-14T07:00:36.612-07:00Always more great ideas from you -- I should have ...Always more great ideas from you -- I should have done the state-by-state hides on my way down to camp in GA...oh, well, next year...Best wishes back in Minnesota!
