The Fauquier K-9 and Community Organization, in conjunction with the Virginia Police Canine Association, is hosting an Iron Dog Competition on April 5, 2025 at Kettle Run High School in Nokesville, VA (Fauquier County). This event will feature approximately 40 law enforcement and military K-9 teams from all over Virginia and the DC area. These K-9 teams run a 1.5 mile course (approximate) where they complete a number of stations pertaining to the skills the K-9s are trained in. This competition is designed to test the strength, stamina, and teamwork of the K-9 Handler and their K-9.
