What was televised yesterday was the taped version of the 2018 National Championship for the Incredible Dog Challenge. It was filmed back in June in CA and Storie was not there. They changed the format, eliminated Regional Championships and events and invited a bunch of the same breed, Belgian Malinois.

We could have attempted to walk on, and probably made the field, but I was not willing to drive from OH to CA for ZERO $$. The winning jump would not have finished even 4th last year so it was a weak field to say the least

Storie has competed in 9 total PPIDC events, 5 regionals and 4 National Championships. She has never finished lower than 4th, won a regional in two events and finished 2nd last year in the National Championship. I guess being the wrong breed kept her out as her resume was worthy of an invite IMHO.

Thank you.
