Puppy
Unfortunately our healthy entry of puppies was sadly depleted on the day to just 3 pups and although all put on a good showing despsite their tender years, we were unable to make any awards in this test.
Ending up with only 17 dogs, the Novice results were as follows:
Novice
1st Sue Walsh's Lab (B) Kerrabrah Saphire
2nd Jane Carnaghan's Lab (D) Rhayannie Highlander
3rd Cynthia Thackwell's Lab (B) Lovatnoir Ouzel
COM: Anne Owen's Lab (B) Easthoath Antigone
COM: Penny Morris's Lab (B) Kynigos Lily Of Buckmotts
Not as many entries for these two tests as we usually have but there are a lot of activities at the moment with the Royal Jubilee in progress. Everyone enjoyed their day with the 6 tests set to stretch the dogs – marks and blinds, walk-up, hunting in ditches and some great water work where we were able to take advantage of the picturesque lakes at this venue.
We thank profusely the helpers who turned out today, some first timers but all enthusiastic. We would not be able to hold these days without you.
Please consider your Southern Area if there is a test coming up at which you could help, maybe at a level you have either won out of or hope to achieve, do keep that day clear to volunteer your services. Your Club needs you!
