Some exciting updates for 2026 (and things that I think make dock diving at Hop River even better):
✨I (Jenn) and Scott (if time allows) will be becoming certified judges.
This will allow us to keep things “in house” and to allow our dear friend Lisa to actually come participate in our events
✨ I will be becoming not just a certified judge, but a UKC certified judge.
What this means- we will be holding Hop River specific events in which you can earn UKC titles for your dogs.
Once I am certified, I will be sharing a link in which you can register your dog to start earning titles.
This also means we can participate in the Super Retriever Series along with our friends in Catskill.
✨We will start looking at our calendar as soon as possible to get some dates on board.
You likely won’t see Scott or I as a judge until summer time, as we will need to get to some events to shadow and learn to judge first, so you’ll likely see Lisa or Joe at our first couple of events.
❗️I appreciate you bearing with us when it comes to events. We unfortunately can not plan a full years calendar at a time, as we all are also dedicated to French ring, PSA, IGP, our families and our clients for our respective businesses.
I wish we could be, but we are doing our best and heading into 2026 with a refreshed game plan.
