TEACUP TRAIL APRIL 24 - 25, 2010
Our April 2010 Teacup Trial was a big success. We had 27 dogs doing a total of 128 runs over both days. It was the first trial to use our beautiful new Teacup equipment. We also had delicious food and lots of raffle baskets. And luckily the rain held off for most of the weekend. Thanks to all our volunteers!
KCTC dogs who qualified (some more than once) include Molly (Pete Grandillo Sr.), Heidi (Sue Wray), Amber (Tom Bandi), Sadie (Lori Miller), Sadie (Emil Pohodich), Pixie (Dee Farrell), Tiffany (Tom Bandi), and Fox (Toni Yurkovic).
The top dogs at each jump height (according to TDAA) were:
4 inch: Amber, handled by Tom Bandi
8 inch: Sadie, handled by Lori Miller
12 inch: Gidget, handled by Mary Bartosh
Our next Teacup trial will be October 9 - 10, 2010, pending TDAA approval.
A big thanks goes to Wendy Loreti for the great photos!

Barktoberfest October 4, 2009
On Sunday October 4th, Keystone helped with Barktoberfest on behalf of Angel Ridge Animal Rescue at the South Park fairground field near the Museum Bldg. Thanks to all who helped.
Just a Walk in the Park
Keystone Canine Training Club was out and about again. We were invited to set up a table at the Paws for Life Walk and Exhibition at the main track at South Park on Saturday May 6, 2009. We met a lot of very nice “dog people” and everyone had a good time. We would like to also express our thanks to the members of KCTC who helped to set up and maintain the table. Many Thanks.
The Keystone K9er’s were asked to perform one of their themed demos. They decided on the Doo Wop Theme, and it was well received by all those that were there. Susie Roberts from the Bethel Park TV show “LETS TALK TAILWAGGERS,” was there and she interviewed the K9er’s and asked if she can tape another of our demos for her show.
All in all, it was another happy day in the life of KCTC Members.
TEACUP AGILITY TRIAL
(Final Posting 4-5-2009)
Our first-ever Teacup agility trial was held March 20 – 22, and was a big success. Over 25 handlers participated, and there were almost 120 runs throughout the weekend. We started on Friday night with a seminar by our Judge, Donni Breadon, who educated us on the Teacup rules and types of courses. We then had two runs.
On Saturday and Sunday, we had four runs each day, consisting of both Standard courses and Games. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, and many competitors asked us when we would be doing this again! The event was featured in an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette South edition, along with a photo. Some pictures from the trial are included below, courtesy of Joanne Kerfonta. A number of KCTC handlers and dogs participated and most did very well, earning placement ribbons, qualification ribbons, and (in some cases) new titles!
Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help clean and tidy-up the club, move the mats, direct the parking, arrange for food, raffles, and the porta-potty, help with registration and scoring, help in the ring as scribes, stewards and leash-runners, etc. They are too numerous to mention by name! We tentatively plan to have another Teacup trial at KCTC this fall.
