I'LD LIKE TO THANK RICK FOR INVITING GAIL AND MYSELF TO JUDGE IN HOLLAND
ALSO THE WELCOMIMG HOSPITALITY SHE GAVE US, WE BOTH LOVE COMING OVER, THE SHOWS ARE ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY AND HAPPY AND I AM AMAZED AT THE DOGS IMPROVEMENTS FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT... THE VENUE IS IDEAL FOR OBEDIENCE, I WANT ONE LIKE THIS, IN THE MIDLANDS.... THE WEATHER WHEN WE ARRIVED WAS GLORIOUS WE SAT OUT IN THE GARDEN SIPPING TEA, HOW ENGLISH IS THAT... AND I WAS EXPECTING THIS LOVELY WARM WEATHER TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY...WRONG, THE WEATHER IS AS UNPREDICTABLE AS IN ENGLAND, SO I WENT TO THE SHOW WITHOUT MY COAT AND IF I WAS TO COMPLAIN I WAS COLD BY THE END OF THE DAY, BUT IT WAS OWN FAULT I SUPPOSE... I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY THERMALS.. THE ORGANISATION WAS VERY GOOD, MY STEWARDS AND SCOREBOARDERS WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL THANK-YOU ALL FOR A JOB WELL DONE. I HAD SOME GOOD DOGS IN NOVICE AND 'A' AND SOME WHICH I DIDN'T FEEL QUIET READY FOR THAT CLASS, THE RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS..
KERKWIJK 4TH APRIL 09
STEWARD MARIAN DE JONG
CLASS NOVICE
1ST ....HENK EEKMAN – BORDERS FOR JOY FREEDOM OF FAITH.. BORDER COLLIE..
THIS WAS A LOVELY CONFIDENT ROUND FROM YOUR BIG BOY, HE FLOWED
ROUND THE RING, MAKING IT LOOK SO EASY. CONGRATULATIONS
2ND.... BARJO BLOM – BEST CLEVER-CATO OF CLOVER CORNER.. BORDER COLLIE
THIS WAS A VERY KEEN LITTLE COLLIE, THE MAIN OR ONLY FAULT TO ME WAS
THE SLIGHT DIPPING IN HEELWORK, I FEEL YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM
NOW AS IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS SHE GETS OLDER. SHE IS WELL WORTH THE
EFFORT AND WOULD HAVE LOVED TO TAKE HER HOME WITH ME..
3RD...MARTIN BROUWER – BEST JIMMY OF COVER CORNER .. BORDER COLLIE
JIMMY, NEEDS MORE STRENGTH AND COMITMENT, HIS POSITION WAS NOT AS
GOOD AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN, YOUR MAIN MARKS IN HEELWORK WERE LOST
FOR CHANGE OF POSITION, THIS IS MY NEGATIVE POINT, ON THE POSITIVE HE
WANTS TO PLEASE, ONCE HIS CONFIDENCE COMES I'M SURE JIMMY WILL SAIL
THROUGH THE CLASSES..
4TH..SANDRA PIERSON – ARO.. AKSO PIERSON...BORDER COLLIE – AKSO, WAS NOT
HOLDING HIS POSITION TOGETHER WITH WIDES ACCOUNTED FOR MANY OF THE
MARKS LOST.. WELL DONE ON THIS PLACE.
5TH...MARTINE VAN GEEL – SMASHING DUTCH AIDAN – BORDER COLLIE. YOUR
HEEL FREE WAS BETTER THAN HOL TODAY, SETTLED INTO THE ROUND AS IT
WENT ON. AGAIN POSITION NEEDS A LITTLE ATTENTION.
6TH...CAROLA VAN TILBURG – BO WHITE VAN TILBURG – BORDER COLLIE..
BO WORKED WELL ON THE LEAD THEN HEEL FREE A LITTLE INATTENTION CREPT
IN..... THE RECALL WAS A LITTLE UNSURE AND HE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD
WHICH I'M SURE YOU WILL SOON HAVE SORTED OUT..
7TH...GERDA VAN NUFFEL – HAIBO HOME OF BOYEARAS .- BORDER COLLIE.. ARO
HAIBO'S RETRIEVE WAS COSTLY TODAY, ON ANOTHER DAY COULD BE AT THE
OTHER END OF THE LINE UP.. JUST WORK HARD ON POSITION.

PITY BROKE STAYS, YOU HAD PUT IN A VERY NICE ROUND UNTIL THIS BLIP... YOUR

1ST...HENK EEKMAN – BORDERS FOR JOY OF FREEDOM FAITH..BORDER COLLIE
TODAY IS DAY, WE ALL LOVE, AND IT HAPPENS ON THE ODD OCCASION YOU WIN
BOTH CLASSES ENTERED, ... FAITH'S ATTENTION WAS VERY GOOD, OVER TRYING
ON COUPLE OF TURNS WHERE HE WENT TO SIT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO THINK
ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE..BASICALLY IT WAS A ROUND WORTHY OF WINNING....I'M
SURE IT WON'T BE LONG YOU ARE OUT OF THIS CLASS..
2ND...GINO DEWHITE – MY SWEET DEVIL’S EYE ENCKE – BORDER COLLIE..LOVELY
ROUND GINO, YOU SHOULD EASILY GO ON TO WIN OUT OF THIS CLASS, GOING THE
WRONG WAY IN THE 'A' RECALL KEPT YOU FROM TOP SPOT TODAY.
3RD...NICKY SPENGLER – ELEGANT MAXEL O'THE LITTLE LODGE – SHETLAND
SHEEPDOG...AGAIN LOVELY HEELWORK , NOT A LOT WRONG..... 'A' RECALL
COMMAND, HAND AND HEAD, ARE COUNTED AS AN EXTRA COMMAND YOU WILL
HAVE TO DROP EITHER THE HAND OR THE HEAD, ON THE PICK UP... YOU COULD
HAVE CARRIED THIS ERROR AND HAVE WON BUT THE RETRIEVE NEEDS A LITTLE
WORK..GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE..
4TH...SANDRA PIERSON – AKSO PIERSON – BORDER COLLIE..SANDRA.. YOU LOST
MARKS IN THE RETRIEVE FOR BODY MOVEMENT AND THE A RECALL FOR HEAD
AND HAND MOVEMENT, THINK ABOUT THESE MARKS YOU ARE LOSING..WITHOUT
