Great weather for a trial, not too warm, dry and a nice little breeze – not the usual weather we expect at Honley! Handling was overall very good, although some handlers weren’t totally confident in the indications their dogs gave (which for the most part were excellent). Dogs that worked methodically found the odours quickly. The exterior and wall sections were worked first to minimise the chance of public distractions. The interior sections were worked well, with Containers being excellent with full marks all round. All seven competitors qualified, with two Excellent awards handed out. Well done everyone. Thanks to Tracey for her Trials Manager duties, and to Eric for scribing for me.
