Working Tests - SCBCC - 17th May 2026
Beardies in Need, Low Farm, Waldringfield.
Judge : Jill Kevis
I would like to thank SCBCC for supporting the Working Tests and for Shirley Hinchcliffe for organising the event. I would also like to thank Ann Trodd for helping to organise the test session. A big thank you to my excellent steward Vanessa Pooley and her husband. I enjoyed my day with the Beardies and especially loved watching fast pace in all the tests.
I started with two Senior Tests and was delighted that both passed – many congratulations.
Primary Test – 3 Entries 3 Passes
Sefton owned by Veronica Harrison - Pass 97/100
Sefton achieved full marks for recall, food refusal and tied stay. Marks on other exercises were lost for little bits of inattention. Well done.
Deric owned by Sarah Collins - Pass 96/100
Deric achieved full marks for examination and recall. Marks were lost for a tight lead at times and some movement in stays. Well done.
Onna owned by Veronica Harrison - Pass 99/100
Lovely test only losing 1 mark on heelwork. Well done!
Junior Test - 5 Entries 2 passes
Ava owned by Penny Green – Pass 92/100
Ava lost minor marks in all exercises except the stay. It was lovely to see a good retrieve in the Junior Test. Well done.
Sefton owned by Veronica Harrison - Pass 96/100
Sefton worked well again just losing marks for the occasional tight lead and 2 in the retrieve. Well done.
Intermediate Test - No Entries
Senior Test - 2 entries 2 passes
Casey owned by Ann Trodd - Pass 95/100Casey achieved full marks for the search square, long jump, hurdle, and stay. He just lost most marks in heelwork for inattention. It is always a pleasure to award a Senior Working Test pass so well done to you both.
Fifi owned by Veronica Harrison - Pass 90/100
This veteran but active, fit dog worked a very competent test. She gained full marks for examination, stay and search square. I enjoyed watching her work and congratulations to you both.
Working Tests - WESW Branch Welsh Fun Day
19th July 2026
Judge: Mark Mogford
It was a perfect summers day. All Beardies in good spirits and a lovely turnout. The day went well, I was glad to see such nice bonds between Beardies and their owners in the Working Test, unfortunately most of the interest in the Working Test came after the fun classes finished, and a few dogs, for example those that failed, may have been put off their stride due to tiredness from the heat and the day's events. Good luck next time.
