2014 NACSW National Invitational

Thank you for Making the 2014 NACSW National Invitational
A Huge Success!

The 2014 National Invitational was a 3 day event in picturesque northern California with over 30 teams competing over 2 days of searching to earn a place as 1 of 12 teams in a final day of exciting nose work exhibition! Each day the teams participated in searches that tested their skills with challenges including mixed element search areas, truly unknown number of hides, time pressures and search area layouts unlike anything the teams had seen at a Nose Work titling trial. Each day delivered plenty of spectator friendly searches, as we cheered on the teams and enjoyed the amazing talents of the best dogs in the sport of nose work!

Congratulations to all of the teams that qualified for the 2014 NACSW National Invitational.
