Thank you Pat for asking me to judge Level 3 All the competitors and their dogs worked really hard with just a few dogs not quite on source and nearly everyone found all 8 finds. Well done to you all and the sun shone which makes a nice change.
Level 1 , thank you for the invitation to judge today I thoroughly enjoyed it. Being a level 1 the handling was variable and most marks were lost for dogs not searching and avoidable lead issues, nothing major and I hope my feedback was helpful, all the competitors seemed to appreciate the guidance. There were some excellent searches from all the dogs which were lovely to watch. Many thanks to Maryann Nestor for stewarding for me, great company and brilliant time keeping. Steph did a great job of keeping the competitors coming so we finished within 3 hours, not bad going, Zoe helped with the scoresheet thank you.
