Thanks for putting together this detailed breakdown of the pass rates by class and state— it’s really helpful for understanding how performance can vary across different regions. I’m curious if there are any trends we can observe in how the newer classes are faring compared to the established ones, especially given the growing interest in scent work. It would be interesting to see if certain states are consistently outperforming others in specific classes.
Well, for once I am grateful to live in Ohio! I didn’t get into the sport until 2023 so am ignorant of the history. Why do we have such great numbers of starters? Someone, probably many someones, had to push AKC to start the Scent Work division; were they Ohioans? Do we have more/better instruction and trainers available here than in other states? Is it just that we have several large and very active clubs? Hm…
