11th Annual K-9 Trials and Safety Fair

Saturday June 4, 10 am-1:30 pm Safety Fair; 11 am-2 pm K-9 competition, Hillsboro Stadium 4450 NW 229th Ave.

The 11th Annual K-9 Trials is a family-friendly event that brings together the region’s tactical canine teams for a fun filled competition to see who will win the “Top Dog” award. The associated safety fair educates the public about emergency preparedness and showcases our county public safety organizations.

This year the event will take place at the Hillsboro Stadium, with an expected attendance of well over 2,000 people (the stadium has a capacity of 7,000 people). The grandstand offers comfortable seating and excellent viewing of the K-9 trials. Food and beverages will be available for sale.

Dogs will compete in the following events: Area Search; Agility Course; Suspect Apprehension; Narcotics Detection Demonstration; Vehicle Extraction; Handler Protection; Fastest Dog.

Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded to the top three dogs of each event based on fastest times. The Top Dog designation will be awarded based upon the overall fastest time in all six events. Pets will not be allowed, so you will need to keep Fido at home.
