Firstly I’d like to thank everyone who entered the trial, my very able assistant Lynne Mitchell, scribe Anni Martin and Amie Pendarves who not only worked her dog Eva in the trial, also single handedly took charge of the catering thank you without you all there would have been no trial.
Now I’d like to thank the judge John West, for those that don’t know John he’s a CC Judge from working trials with many years of experience behind him. As expected he put everyone at ease and whilst waiting for the scores to be added up entertained the competitors, I think he had everyone in stitches. Anyway thank you John, the tests were set at the appropriate level which was very ably demonstrated by the top 6 dogs. Even the weather held off till all external searches had been completed.
Pippa Bentham trials manager
I recently had the pleasure of my first appointment to judge a sent work U.K. trial at Seavington Millenium Hall, given that I have judged Working Trials at CC level, it was fascinating to see the dogs using their noses in an entirely different discipline. There were 17 dogs competing and only 3 failed to qualify but these were new to the Trials and hadn’t quite grasp the homing in on the scent nevertheless all 3 showed promise and I’m sure it won’t be too long before they qualify. Out of the remaining 14 dogs 1st to 6th identified all four scented articles and 1st to 4th all received a perfect marks meaning the places was decided on time. Congratulations to all the qualifiers and hope that continues for the next levels.
A big thank you to Pippa for organising the day and to Annie for scribing the scores plus the gorgeous food, also to Lynne for having all the competitors in the right place at the right time. I would also like to thank any of the backroom staff like Amie who also assisted where necessary .
