After the cold of the AGM - Sunday 11th May found us all in a hot, sunny
and beautiful Cannock woodland of the Hatherton Estate by kind
permission of Mr Ray Nightingale. There were 19 entries, 18 of which
turned up for the day. The Working Test was held under KC
regulations, for several this was the first time they had attended
such an event - it was certainly very pleasing to see new faces
willing to run their dogs under the judges eye.The day itself -
although a test was held as if a field trial - 2 dogs running at the
same time, the card was worked right through, the Open dogs running
at the end. The dogs then got called back for their second runs
under the different judge. although it sounds very formal - it was
actually a very relaxed and enjoyable test - the judges and helpers
were all very surprised at the way all the dogs winded the dummies.
It was hot so the dogs didn't work at their fastest but most dogs
got through their 2 runs. It was very pleasing to see Shaun Jeffs
bitch being pulled out as the winner of novice - hopefully we shall
see them running in a trial in the future. It was also excellent
that Andy Hales and Robin Mills both also made the cards too with
their first Clumbers.
Grateful thanks must be said to Andy Hales for organising the
event for the Society and to the Judges Mr Bob Rutherford & Mr Paul Speake
who were very sympathetic with the dogs and the handlers.
