Judge’s Critique:

Thanks to Vicki and the committee for the invitation to judge at winter open show with limited obedience on the 2nd November.
The atmosphere at the show was spot on, organised, relaxed and extremely friendly, from the organisers of the show to all the competitors who came in our ring. We all really enjoyed our time with you.
My special thanks must go to ‘Janel’ for stewarding all the competitors, it was a case of roll reversal this year, as Janel judged in 2024 and I stewarded for the show, which is our normal routine, so it was even more fun!
All handlers and dogs were a pleasure to have in the ring; we had a wonderful time and hope you all did too.
Onto the happiest teams of the day.

27 – Special Introductory (3/0)
1 Overbore’s Ace Of Hearts -Wren and Nina
We witnessed a lovely partnership between Wren and Nina, a clear recall and minimal marks lost on heelwork. Well done both.
2 Maycourt Miss Sweetness At Tengore -Pixie Rose and Suzy
Again, a lovely round from you both, with a clear recall, just a few more marks lost on the heelwork. You should be very proud of yourselves.
3 Tusepo Miss Scarlett -Hoolit and Nigel
Awarded Judges Choice – Hoolit is a really young dog, who I am sure enjoyed her time in the ring, a few inaccuracies, but who really cares, it was lovely to meet you both. I loved how she got her name.

Class 28 – Special Pre-Beginners (6/2)
1 Maycourt I’m Still Standing -Gunner and Rachel
WOW – you two were on fire today, fabulous recall and heelwork. Leaving so little to mark, it was lovely to see you both in the ring.
2 Overbore’s Ace Of Hearts -Wren and Nina
2nd class and another excellent round from Nina and Wren. You both looked so good together, and left very little to mark.
3 Violeta Borboleta Jacques Du Moulin Du Paulu (Imp Fra) -Jacques and Alycia
What a lovely partnership between you two, a fantastic round, just a little more distracted in the heel free, which added up in marks lost. Well done.
4 Maycourt Miss Sweetness At Tengore -Pixie Rose and Suzy.
Again, second class worked and Pixie-Rose was on fine form, just a blip in the recall, which cost a few marks. Well done.

Class 29 – Special Beginners (7/1)
1 Roughyeds Gold Stick Cellar -Marion and Jeannette
A fabulous round from this team, leading to winning the ‘Best Obedience’ award for the day. Simply stunning left turns, you really should enter an obedience show.
2 Overbore’s Ace Of Hearts -Wren and Nina
3 classes and 3 rosettes, just shows how consistent you are. The few errors in retrieve were the difference between 2nd and 1st place. Well done again.
3 Maycourt I’m Still Standing -Gunner and Rachel
Well done on another place, a lovely partnership, with just a few more inaccuracies, particularly on retrieve.
4 Kahawei Star Catcher -Sebi and Gill
My notepad states WOW, for the heel on lead, such a shame about the retrieve! Well done on this place.
5 Sh Ch Tessmene Talk Of The Town -Austin and Gill
Well done on your place, a few mishaps today, keep enjoying each other.
6 Sh Ch Brightmeadow Take Your Time At Densdale -Dru and Jill
Lovely handling on the heel on lead, a good recall, let’s not mention the retrieve! Well done.

Thanks to all the competitors for entering the show and for showing us how lovely your dogs are. Good luck to you all.
