2021 YEARS TEST RESULTS

It's Been a Great Year!!

Happy smiles at Pecatonica's Tracking Club, Inc's  November 7th 4 dog TDX test today!

Jane Wiedel & "Ben" Ch Wyndtree Living Well BN new TDX passed on a tough track plotted by judges Connie Austin & Ulysses James at Deer Run, Cherry Valley, IL.

Our last test of the year saw sunshine, temps in the 60's and a light breeze. Tracklayer Tamar Cooney was happy to "pay back" as Jane laid Tamar's passing VST track at PTC's VST test last weekend .

Thank you to Test Sec Nancy Einwich, Hospitality Penny DuBernat, and Head Tracklayer with tracklayers Tamar Cooney, Marie Bueche, Terry Middleton & Peggy Granger plus new crosstrack layers Susie & Joanne. Without all of you, we wouldn't be able to hold our tracking tests!
