This was a trial that had been cancelled twice due to CoVid. I was very pleased to be able to finally run it. It was the hottest day of the year, really hot, especially in the afternoon. The dogs did brilliantly, with owners taking great care to keep them as cool as possible. I was very impressed by the standard of work of the competitors and their dogs. Well done! Some mishaps, with scent not found, but not surprising given that the dogs and owners were working in the heat. Massive thank you to Jan for judging. An experienced scent person with 3 dogs competing in trials, Jan took to judging like a duck to water. Very impressive was the hide on the car that she set in the morning; that was still on the cool part of the car in the afternoon. Also many thanks to Kate who was an excellent scribe. It was lovely to meet you all and hope to see you all in the future.
