Mark your calendars and make your reservations. The Rend Lake Area near Whittington, Illinois, will again be the location of the ESDS Nationals on the weekend of March 25-27, 2022. UKC is in the process of working with clubs whose schedules are affected by this date change and those changes will be announced as soon as they are available.

With the Nationals date now set, UKC will also endeavor to maintain a weekend number date calendar to help clubs and participants keep track of a tentative schedule of events for the year so they can plan accordingly.

We would like to remind everyone that the 2022 Nationals will have qualifying requirements in place in order to be eligible to enter this event. For a dog to be eligible to enter the Champion category of the event they will need to have earned 4 passes (in either category) during Season 5. To be eligible for the category of Working, a dog will need to have 2 passes during season 5. The Youth class will not have a qualifying requirement and all youth are welcome and encouraged to participate.

We are hoping for less green-up, great weather and to see you there!
