Over the weekend, a few of us went to Carson City to watch our Washoe County K9s compete against other K9 units in Northern Nevada. It was a warm day and everyone was in good spirits, especially our dogs. Here’s the report from the Sheriff’s Office along with some photos of the day.

Five of our Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 teams and ten other Northern Nevada K9 units participated in today’s second annual K9 Unit Challenge at Fuji Park in Carson City.

The competition consisted of three challenges: detection, patrol, and obstacle/agility, where Deputy Grulli and K9 Jett, Deputy Evans and K9 Odin, Deputy Lynch and K9 Ace, Deputy Tittensor and K9 Brutus, and Deputy Locke with K9 Otto showcased their skills.

The competition provided a great opportunity for multiple agencies to come together, collaborate, and gain knowledge from one another while exhibiting the exceptional abilities of the region’s K9s and their handlers to the community.

Join us in congratulating Deputy Tittensor and K9 Brutus for a 3rd place finish in narcotics detection!
