Thanks to the Dutch Obedience Society for the invitation to judge at this show.
Thanks to Greet and Ed our hosts again for the weekend, they made us feel very welcome and their hospitality was second to none. I would also thank Walter and Ed for the trip around Brussels and Antwerp, what an experience.

Results as follows NOVICE
1st No 63 Elly and Noa a few wide about turns otherwise a well deserved win.
Noa did the business but the handler needs to do the business too. Good Luck for the future.

2nd No 57 Anda and Faye again another lovely round, a neater present and finish would have given you first place, still, a round to be proud of. Good Luck.

3rd No 8 Elly and Jamie another nice round, not a lot wrong with this pair, inverting on heelwork was costly, tighten this up and progression should come quickly. Good team to   judge. Well Done.

4th No 49 Adrienne and Banjer most points lost by the dog on wide abouts, lost run off with above dog, but only bits and pieces separated them.

5th No 52 Carola and Bo Well Done, just small things that were costly today, a little loose in heel free.

6th No 54 Carola and Gyrho. Well Done on your place, a little more work needed on heelwork.

7th No 9 Martine and Fuzzy Well Done

Results B
1st No 43 Gina and Enche this pair produced a lovely round, a real pleasure to judge, a little short on sendaway and a messy retrieve, but apart from that everything else was spot on. Congratulations on your win.

2nd No 28 Rineke and Tika brilliant round from this pair, they were leading going into scent  unfortunately lost 6 points putting them down into 2nd place. Better Luck next time.

3rd No 6 Greet and Kyrill I was impressed by the way this team worked, slight lagging and a missed sit, but overall a great round. This pair will soon be out of this class. Well Done.

4th No 60 Anneke and Yara sendaway and scent were the big let down for this pair, work hard on these exercises and the wins will come soon. Good Luck for the future.

Finally thanks to Ed for stay stewarding, Melissa, Bennie, Ingrid ,Chantal and Sandra my stewards for the day, they performed their tasks faultlessly and made the day run smoothly. Ones again , as last year, everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was  wonderful. I look forward to judging at this show next year. I also look forward to the FANTASTIC food served up by Greet I was half a stone heavier when I left.
Regards to all.
