She said, "Our goal is to provide the competitive opportunity for amateur handlers without the pressure of competing against professionals handlers. And if a dog earns a champion of record, obedience trial champion and field champion, the dog is designated as a "Triple Champion". Some springer trials routinely number more than 60 dogs and national events are topping dogs and take almost a week to complete.
