Bearded Collie Club Fun Obedience Classes
Judge: Andy Bland(Kiandra)
Thank you for inviting me to judge the fun obedience classes. Also thank you Maureen Sale for stewarding and the kitchen gang for keeping us fed and watered. There is so much more to being on committee, you all do a grand job.
Starters (3 entries, 2 absent)
1st - Penny Steele with Lyme - Rocpen Turo Twill. Lovely happy youngster. Only losing two marks on tight lead and crooked sit. A well-deserved first.
Triers (4 entries, 1 absent)
1st - Lynn Bevis with Bea – Ramsgrove Sunshine at Beabeardies. A very good round, only two marks lost on tight lead. She is a pleasure to watch.
2nd - Frances Richards with Bridie - Willdan’s Dark Sky at Elemark. Heel work was good but tight lead lost marks. She was not keen on sitting, which set her back on the recall. Then she found it wasn’t so bad and did an excellent sit and down stay.
3rd - Moira Homer with Harvey – Matamata Prancing Pony. A tight lead also let this chap down at times. Moira missed the bit about last command on the sit stay and lost marks . I have to say, most of us have done that at some stage. I think it pays off for future training.
Hopefuls (2 entries)
1st - Anne Buswell with Bramley – Douglasdale Granatus At Scotesham. Just losing marks on heelwork attention and some mouthing on retrieve. Super recall and stays were excellent. Well done.
2nd - Moira with Harvey. A lovely heel round, but in heel free he needs to be closer on turns and sits could be straighter. He broke sit stay which put him in 2nd place.
Fliers (2 entries)
1st - Moira with Harvey, Well done, only lost 2 marks for lead. Everything else clear. I think he has a bright future and wish you both all the best.
2nd - Anne Buswell with Quince. Well, concentration can be hard sometimes. He was doing quite well, but then we had play time followed by excellent sendaway and drop. He had a nice fun day. On another day he would also make it a success.
Beardies have it in them to work, they just need a little guidance and time. Best Wishes All!
Andy Bland (Judge)
