Rally, 28 December 2024
Shirley Buchanan has been out and about with her girls, May – Fleetpaw First Lady, and Glory – Curlies On Wings Crossroad Glory. Shirley told us,
We went to a rally competition on 28th December and Glory did level 1 in the morning gaining a qualifying score of 182 under judge Jayne Crowther then in the afternoon she did another level 1 gaining an excellent qualifying score of 192 under judge Elaine Edwards.
May did level 6 in the morning and afternoon and got scores of 167 and 172 and 6th place in the afternoon but neither of the scores were qualifying scores.
Well done, fantastic results.
