Sorry for the delay! We've been busy scraping mud off of everything we own! GPDC put on another set of AKC Coursing Ability Tests at New Castle, PA /Memorial Day Cluster (May 22-23-24, 2026), and Mother Nature decided to really test our dedication. There was some Sun. There was Wind. There was Rain. There was Cold (39 degrees in May - seriously?!?). Spoiler alert: GPDC members passed!! Barely. But we passed.

The good news? The dogs had the time of their lives. The bad news? So did the mud. It was EVERYWHERE — on the dogs, on the handlers, on the equipment, and on people who thought they were standing at a safe distance. You know who you are.

Massive THANK YOU to Jessica Burris for somehow keeping her camera lens clean long enough to capture so many amazing photos posted here. And to all the dog and handler teams who showed up, suited up, and slogged through it — THANK YOU. Lots of newbies, lots of qualifying runs, and lots of new titles earned by some very muddy, very proud pups. We hope to see you all again September 19-20, 2026 at Butler County Fairgrounds, Butler PA in conjunction with Butler County Kennel Club breed shows — we promise to check the forecast this time!

The OFFICIAL photographer of these CABTs Fri-Sat-Sun is Cindy Sumner of https://www.facebook.com/SeeingSpotzPhotography/. Please give her a day or two to get the photos posted to her website. Watch for announcements here!

**Update on May 22-23-24, 2026 Coursing Ability Tests (CABTs) Memorial Day Cluster @ Lawrence County Fairgrounds.
