Hello, my name is Joanne Turner.  I have been involved with working trials for nearly 10 years now.   I got involved originally when my first dog, Murphy was retired from agility and took up obedience and the tracking side as something to keep him active.  Caught the bug, making my border collie Joe up to Working Trials Champion in 2005, and here we still are tramping over hill and down dale with my young border collie, Cody.  I became a judge because I enjoy watching the dogs work and in order to give back to the sport which has given me much enjoyment over the years.  Good Luck to all at the NDTA.
