Once again I have to thank  Greet  and Ed for inviting me
To judge at this well run show, a fabulous venue and lovely,
Friendly people. We were well looked after all day.
I had a really good class with some fantastic dogs.
Thank you to Ed and the stay team for a job well done
And most of all Thank you to the competitors.
To those that trained you used your time constructively
And hope this will have been of benefit to you.
To those who worked their dogs, I thoroughly enjoyed my day
Judging . The standard of heelwork was amazing-
a real pleasure as reflects in the heelwork marks but
unfortunately some of the set exercises did not reflect that standard
although I suspect that the weather had an influence on this-
as I feel the temperature was taking its toll as the day went on.

1st no 59 Annelies van de Velde with Laddy  W.S.D.Total lost 6,75
This team kept it together all day, well impressed with both handler and dog.
Outstanding heelwork.

2nd no 50 Mia Bosschaart with Tyke W.S.D. Total lost 14. Again another outstanding round. Unfortunately a missed position let you down which can happen with the best of dogs.

3rd no 53 Melissa  Vercauter  with Demma T.H. Lost  21,5
7 marks lost on sendaway, otherwise you would have been higher up in the class.
4th no 42 Bianca van der Post with Ginny  A.K. Lost 23,25
This is the second time I have judged this team and again would have been well up the cards
Unfortunately 16 lost on D.C.

5TH no 37 Sandra Pierson with her B.C. Lost  45,75, stays let you down,
 but again the heat was taking its toll by this time.

6th no 23 Greet Vink  with Kyrill   Lost 49,5 as above,  stays and the heat let you down.

7th no 55 Lenie Kasteleijn  with Lalaylla W.S.D. Lost 56
The least said the better, but it could happen to anybody.

Thank you for the hospitality and to my team especially Hans Bilius my ring steward, I look forward to working with you again at Lune Valley and last but not least a big thank you to Benny for looking after the scoreboard and organization of the team. I would have been lost without you.
Regards, Bob
