DUTCH
OBEDIENCE SOCIETY OBEDIENCE SHOW
Obedience Wedstrijd held at Standdaarbuiten on Saturday 7th April 2018
Once again we would both like to offer our sincere
thanks to the Dutch Obedience Society and Monique van Urk for the invitation to
judge at this show and for their hospitality from start to finish. The Show was held for the first time at a
lovely “new” venue at the home of our hosts in Standdaarbuiten.
The venue was new to everyone and was in a lovely area
with two good-sized working rings on short-cut grass plus a stay ring and lots
of space to exercise the dogs. There was
plenty of room for additional rings if they had been needed. A lovely canteen offering very
reasonably-priced hot and cold meals completed what appeared to us to be an
ideal venue. There was plenty of space for
tents for ringside spectators and it seemed to us that this may become a
popular DOS outdoor venue in the future. On top of this we had wall to wall sunshine –
brilliant relief after one of the longest, wettest, most miserable winters that
we can remember back in the UK. We
actually got a bit burnt – the last thing we thought we would need was suntan
lotion!!!
Our hosts for the weekend were Claudia Leijs and
Willem van de Meent. Having stayed with them at their previous home we knew
what to expect in the way of hospitality and once again we had a great weekend
with them and they did everything possible to ensure that we were well looked
after and we were made to feel very much “at home”. We can’t thank them enough for their
kindness. At the Show our thanks go to
everyone involved in any way with the organisation and running of the Show,
especially of course our ring stewards, scoreboard stewards and decoys, not
forgetting Ed Vink and his team of stay stewards.

needs tidying a little.

13 Entries
Many of the dogs in this class were probably
inexperienced at this level and this was almost certainly their first outdoor
show of the season. I’d like to think
that these were at least some of the factors affecting overall performances
today.
1st 142½
pts. Karen Selhorst and her Australian
Shepherd DYLAN. Dylan was a little bit
wide on some of the turns, not helped I felt by Karen hesitating. Nevertheless there were some nice sections
where his potential shone through. A
lovely recall but just ran out of steam into the final halt. Excellent retrieve – one of the best of the
day. Finished with a good scent
discrimination but reluctant to sit at the present. You won by a huge margin today Karen and
Dylan was the only dog to complete the stays without penalty. Congratulations on a well-deserved first
place.
2nd 128¼
pts. Marianne van Haarlem and her
Australian Shepherd BREEZY THORN VALLEY BLUE LINE SHOT. Marianne and Brianne produced a reasonably
attentive round of heelwork although there were some extra commands and a bit
of hesitation on turns. Decent recall,
retrieve and scent but a broken sit stay was a big point loser today. Well done
on this place.
3rd 123½ pts. Ankie Houthuis and her Border Collie NICE OF
YOU TO COME BYE LUCKY SWITCH. Quando was
quite inattentive in the ringwork today Ankie so plenty for you to work on
there. The broken sit stay didn’t help
matters. Work hard to improve the
attention.
4th 112½
pts. Ankie Houthuis and her Border
Collie ROUND ROBIN MAC GYVER. The main
ringwork from Ankie and Maq was much better than from Quando, the recall and
retrieve were OK and a few extra commands were needed in heelwork. Scent failure and a broken down stay cost the
chances of a higher place.
5th Brigitta
van Oevelen and her Australian Shepherd THOUGHER THAN THE REST OF FREE
SPIRIT. Jake was very inattentive today
Brigitta and you need to work on building his confidence in the ring – I hope
that will pay dividends in the long term.
6th Els de
Waal and her Briard XOUMA ROMANI. Xouma
also needs confidence at this level Els and some work on the stay
exercises.
Special mention in this class for Bernou ter Voorde
and her Border Collie WHITEMOORBORDERS MOON.
Bernou and Twinkle produced a great round of heelwork today, followed it
up with excellent recall and retrieve.
Unfortunately Twinkle just grabbed the first cloth in the scent line and
brought it straight back. I think she
was new to Class A but I reckon she’ll have a successful future. Bad luck today Bernou but congratulations on
your Novice win.

CLASS B
Steward
- Bernou -
Scoreboard - Paul
There were six entries in this class but
unfortunately no-one gained a rosette. Five competitors did training rounds and
only one completed the course and that was Ton with Troy, a Bearded Collie. Ton
didn't want first place so that was that.

CLASS C Ring Steward: Isabella van Damme Scoreboard Steward: Jutta van Damme
Scent
Decoy: Joop
1st 294¼
pts. Guus Scholten and his Working
Sheepdog DANESWAY DUET. It was good to
see Guus and Gucci back – and I must say back with a vengeance! This was a superb round of obedience by any
standard – they just took the test apart and came home comfortable winners
today. I hope that this is a sign of
things to come and I look forward to reading and seeing much more of them in
the future. Congratulations on a fine
win today. 5 Heelwork; ½ Retrieve; ¼ Scent
2nd 287
pts. Angela Kroon and her Working
Sheepdog ABSOLUTE GROOVY. A lovely
performance from Angela and Groovy but, uncharacteristically, just a little
untidy on some of the heelwork turns today.
Class heelwork elsewhere. A
well-deserved place in the line-up amongst some top class competition. 7 Heelwork; 3 Sendaway; 2 DC.; 1 Scent
3rd 284¾
pts. Guus Scholten and his Working
Sheepdog HALLIGALLI MOVIESTAR. Another
fine display from Guus and Coco – two super dogs in the “Scholten Stable”. A missed first position in DC and a lifted
cold cloth in scent the only real difference between Coco and Gucci. 2 dogs in the first 3 speaks volumes. 5½ Heelwork; ½ Sendaway; 1 Retrieve; 6 DC; 2¼
Scent
4th 284½
pts. Bernou ter Voorde and her Border
Collie NAMASTE HOPE. Bernou and Lizzy
produced the best heelwork round of the day in my opinion but were let down by
an expensive error on the Sendaway exercise.
Another great team here with so much promise. 3½ Heelwork; 10 Sendaway; 1½ Retrieve; ½
Scent. Won the run-off for this place
from:
5th 284½
pts. Marianne Slegt and her Border
Collie AMAZING YODA OF ALBION’S MARCH.
Yoda was a little loose in the heelwork department today but made up for
it elsewhere to ensure that she got a well-deserved place in this very strong
line-up. Well done Marianne. 10 Heelwork; ½ Sendaway; 2½ Retrieve; ½ DC; 2
Scent
6th 278
pts. Trudy Groenenboom and her Working
Sheepdog ABFAB SO CHEEKY. Cheeky has got
lots of ability but really was “cheeky” on the ASSD positions, finding it difficult to wait for Trudy to
collect him. Also couldn’t wait to get
back to Trudy after doing a very nice Sendaway.
Well done – just needs to be a bit calmer!! 12½ Heelwork; 4½ Sendaway; 1½ Retrieve; 3½
Scent
Just a mention for Gwen Griffioen and her
Groenendael SERGEANT FILOU (Raven) who also produced a lovely round – until
stays. Never mind Gwen – there’ll be
other days.
