Puppy and Novice Dog/Novice Handler and Novice classes.

Once again, current government restrictions across the country mean that we had to run a working test ‘virtually’.

Please note that this was an unofficial test and winning the class does not qualify out of that class.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered our working test. We have had so much fun watching these videos. We have seen some really lovely, very capable dogs, and equally some superb handlers!

The novice class was very strongly contested and the first two places in novice were separated by half a point, we were really splitting hairs! If anyone would like to know their scores, and if anyone would like feedback on why they were given a score, please do get in touch, we are only too happy to help! We do have rosettes for the award winners – please PM us your address and we can get them sent out

Judges: Chris and Caroline Hewison

We have very kindly been given permission to share Kristof Jebsen’s videos, who was running in the novice section of our on line test. I thought it might be useful for the novice dog/novice handlers to see the exercises and it was a pleasure to watch this team working together. Link to the videos
