Novice with a Puppy Award 3 April 2022 - Renby
Not having run our usual early Cold Game Test this year, this was Southern's first test this year and also the first test organised by our new Working Test Secretary Mr Bill Gardiner who did an excellent job.
This Novice Test has a cup presented to the best puppy with the highest score, and was held on 3rd April 2022 at Renby Farm, Crowborough.
Judges: Mr Roger Wade, Mrs Tracy Flood & Mr Alistair House
1st Nicola Grainge's Lab (D) Barweston Nimbus
after a 2 dog run off:
2nd Jan Kerwood's Lab (B) Kerrabrah Nelly
3rd Hilly Hoar's Lab (B) Kirbyhall Beatrice
4th Graham Harrison's Lab (D) Prestonfield Loch Earn of Chalvington
Dubrow Cup for Best Puppy ~ Braltontwist Lou Lou, 17 month Lab (B) owned by Chrissie Walton
The last Puppy to take home the Dubrow Cup was Nicola's Barweston Nimbus, so it was lovely to see how much he has improved to take the first prize in the Novice this year.
A happy-spirited day with lots of laughter, after a couple of years of staying at home with our dogs. They really benefitted from the social side – and so did their owners! A happy day.
