Judges and Puppy award winners, Haughton Warren 2014
The Puppy and Novice Tests were held on 29th June 2014 at Haughton Warren, Nottinghamshire by kind permission of Mr T Banks & Mr R Inger. And the Bevercotes Park Shoot. The judges were Paul Birkbeck, June Brocklesby, Deoff Dobb and Mandy Minshall. The prizes were sponsored by Alpha The Food of Champions.
The Puppy test comprised four tests, judged by Geoff and Mandy. There were 15 entries with 3 breeds competing. One test included an obedience element. Dogs were heeled, then had to sit and stay whilst the handler crossed a footbridge before the recall. This was followed by a marked retrieve in grass. Another mark involved entering a shallow pond. The blind retrieve was along a narrow path amongst the trees of Fishpond Wood.
The high standard resulted in many high marks, those with 74 or more out of 80 featuring in the awards.
