2012 AWDF Championship .. May 9-13th - Page 3

The reason some of the top competitors pulled is because they didn't need the score from the AWDF to qualify for the WUSV qualifier trial next month. Some got their scores at the WDA Nationals and others at the WDC. Sean Rivera just got back from the FMBB so why would he add another national level trial and travel to his dog. Also if your dog is not ready to compete at that level, many will pull to continue training the area or areas they were not ready in. The qualifier is next month, so if some didn't pull, their dogs would've been in three major events in 2 1/2 months. That's a lot. Training more and trialing less leads to better scores.

Congratulations to all.  

I am extremely pleased to see Mark and Archer in 3rd place, and as a young 3 year old.  Archer was my first and only male puppy in my very first litter 'A Litter' von der Traumwolfen.  I had a feeling that he was very special from the beginning, and getting him placed with Mark, a world competitor, has been such an added bonus.  Can't wait to continue to see them compete in the future.
