What a scorcher we had. Luckily this new ground for us was within a stone's throw of Beachy Head clifftop so we were blessed with a rejuvenating sea breeze. There was shade for the dogs too on this hottest day of the year and our host provided water and amenities liberally.
Our numbers were down unfortunately due to both Covid contacts and kennel cough but the dogs were put through their paces with manners through gates for puppies and heel work and little hunt-ups, marks, blinds, distractions and jumps for the older ones.
The heroes of the day were the dogless ones – judging, throwing and helping. Your Club thanks you all and appreciates your brilliant efforts today. You are stars.
