Thank you to all of my competitors for making my day, so many happy faces that come into the ring, it was a pleasure to judge you all and the Standard just keeps getting better every time I come over.
Results as follows: -
CLASS B
1st Ineke Hapee with Bright shall she be van de Wilbam This dog was head and shoulders above the rest today just flowed round the ring and made it look so easy, I believe this was your 2nd B in a matter of weeks I can see why by the standard of your work today she could be C only very soon well done on gaining this place.
2nd Joke Hoop with Sleepy at Fryslan A very nice round by this team just a pity to come up against the dog that won, Im sure that you wont be long in winning with today’s performance well done.
3rd Anneke Holleman with Quelly Benvenida S.A and heelwork were very costly today otherwise not a bad round well done.
4th Greet Vink with Kyrill van Berlare I think you were pleased with your boy today Greet he is lovely just needs to get a bit more confidence and he will be winning well done on gaining this place.
5th Martine Verhoeven with Comanchero of the Two Roses A very nice round by this team in the heelwork but SA and Retrieve were your down fall today get them right and you will be there well done.
6th Helen Braak with Quiet-Kuma the lovely White Shepard I thought this dog was fab beautiful heelwork position, points lost through extra commands with body movement and also you spoke to her but what a dog keep you shoulder and head still she’s Fab, well done.
7th Karola Beckers with Gwendeline of Shamrockfield A very nice round by this teams but broke sit stay that relegated you to this position other wise well done.
CLASS C
1st Gwen Griffioen with Wyndanwood Plymouth Road Runner. Gwen and Riley put in a stunning round, heelwork was near to perfection, Technically very accurate and yet still powerful with loads of drive but still under control through out the round a slight hiccup in the A.S.S.D when Riley did the Sit position then stood up almost ameadeitly to the surprise of me and Gwen, well done on your place a well deserved win.
2nd Trudy Groenenboom with Colliewood Crazy Leg Guinness. Guinness is lovely dog and his very stylish in his heelwork both him and Trudy are improving all the time I have judged them over the past couple of years, his SA was very good today and excellent DC, mouthing on ret and heelwork were costly, some crabbing and losing position causing him to be wide at times on the turns and in the straights but I am sure that Trudy will soon sort it out, otherwise a very nice round and a well deserved place well done.
3rd Mia Bosschaart with Mamamia’s Tyke. Mia and Tyke came into the ring and as usual just oozed polish and perfection through out the round this lady is such a immaculate handler she makes it look so easy and Tyke just follows her lead, just a missed position in the A.S.S.D on the down and a few minor errors in the heelwork today but never the less a very creditable round by this team, well done.
4th Greet Vink with Sea light Boryck Greet and Boryck always do well under me, he is a super dog always tries his best for you a bit long in the tooth now and you can see that he not as sharp as he used to be it happens to us all as we get older, yet still in the line up again what a credit to you Greet he his well done on gaining this place.
5th Brigitte Gestel with Twice as nice Twizzle van Benvenida’s Joy. Brigitte and Twizzle worked well today good sets and very neat heel work, just losing position on the turns causing the dog to go wide at times, other wise very nice you done well with him and I think you are a very good trainer, well done on your place.
6th Margreet Mijnsbergen with Fleur of the Charming Stead. Fleur is a lovely dog very stylish in her heelwork and Margeet is a very upright and clean handler I always like to judge this team as they are a pleasure to watch, Just bits and pieces on the whole round today that all add up but still a very nice round well done.
7th Pleun Ster with Thisisblizz. Again a very nice round by this team, Sa and DC were your down fall today, Im sure you will be able to get it sorted soon well done on your place.
Dog and handlers worth a mention were Danielle and Micky who put in a fabulous round leading till scent only to bring the decoy in, Guus Sholton with Collie Wood Valazquez Giovanni another quality team broke the sit stay and Angela Kroon with Collie Wood Blue Eagle a very stylish young dog that I feel is coming on very nicely in Angela’s very capable hands.
Just to say thank you for entering under me I had a great time and wish you all the best for the rest of the season and 2009, Merry Xmas and New year to you all.
Shirley Clowes.
