1ST DANIELLE WILSON AGED 10 VERY SMARY YOUNG LADY, IMMACULATELY TURNED OUT AS WAS HER DOG. DANIELLE HANDLED HER CHARGE TO HIS FULL ADVANTAGE. CONFIDENT & ATTENTIVE TO BOTH HER DOG & MYSELF. CONSTANTLY AWARE OF WHERE I WAS IN THE RING. GOOD SHADOWING. EXCELLENT STRAIGHT LINES. SHE LISTENED TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOWED THEM TO THE LETTER. ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS CORRECTLY AND WAS POLITE & COURTEOUS. DANIELLE WAS IN COMPLETE UNISION WITH HER CHARGE AND GAVE HIM LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT BY SPEAKING TO HIM AND TREATING HIM GENTLY.

2ND LACEY STEVENSON AGED 8YRS ANOTHER IMMACULATELY DRESSED YOUNG LADY. KEEN AND EAGER TO PLEASE. SHE WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AND LISTENED TO MY INSTRUCTIONS. NICE SHAPES, SHE MOVED HER DOG WELL AND WAS AWARE THAT I HAD MOVED POSITION WHEN SHE WAS AT THE FAR END OF THE RING. 

BOTH DANIELLE & LACEY ARE SUPER YOUNG HANDLERS BOTH HAD THE SAME CALM QUALITIES. THEY WILL NO DOUBT CHANGE PLACES MANY TIMES. WELL DONE GIRLS.

3RD DYLAN EVANS AGED 10YRS A VERY SMART YOUNG MAN. POLITE & ENDEARING. HE HANDLED HIS CHARGE WELL. IT IS HARDER TO MANOUVER A BIGGER DOG INTO STANCE AND HE DID WELL. HE MOVED HIS DOG CONFIDENTLY. WELL DONE.

4TH MIA-ROSE ROGERSON AGED 8YRS VERY SMARTLY TURNED OUT. ANOTHER CRACKING WEE HANDLER. KIND & CONSIDERATE TO HER CHARGE. MIA-ROSE SPOKE KINDLY TO HER DOG AND GAVE IT ENCOURAGEMENT. SHE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS CORRECTLY. SHE JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE CONFIDENT IN HER ABILITY BUT THIS WILL COME WITH PRACTICE. WELL DONE.

5TH LOLA LOVRIC AGED 11 ANOTHER SMART WEE GIRL. HANDLED HER CHARGE IN A KIND MANNER. LOLA FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS AND HAD GOOD LINES. SHE DOES HOWEVER NEED TO SPEAK TO HER DOG MORE WHICH WILL BUILD ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND HER OWN CONFIDENCE. I’M SURE ONCE THIS HAPPENS THEY WILL MAKE A WONDERFUL TEAM.

Y.K.C JUNIOR HANDLING 12-16YRS

1ST DAISY MASON AGED 12 A WELL TURNED OUT YOUNG LADY. CONFIDENT IN HER ABILITY AND KEEN TO PLEASE. SHE WAS AT ONE WITH HER CHARGE. MOVED IN UNISON. EXCELLENT RAPPORT BETWEEN HANDLER & DOG. DAISY ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS CORRECTLY IN A POLITE & PRECISE MANNER.

SPEAKING TO HER CHARGE AND GIVING LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS CORRECTLY. LISTENED TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND EXECUTED THEM WELL.

BOTH YOUNG LADIES ARE WONDERFUL HANDLERS I WAS SPITTING HAIRS IN MY DECISIONS AND I’M SURE ALL 6 OF THESE YOUNGSTERS WILL CHANGE PLACES OFTEN. 

3RD ASHLEY SUTTON AGED 12 A VERY SMART YOUNG MAN. UNLUCKY TODAY THAT THE GIRLS WERE ON SUCH GOOD FORM. ASHLEY IS A KIND, CONFIDENT HANDLER. HE DOES THIS IN A QUIET AND UNASUMING MANNER. HE SPEAKS QUIETLY TO HIS DOG AND IS IN COMPLETE CHARGE. HE TRUSTS HIS DOG AND IN TURN HIS DOG TRUSTS HIM. I ENJOYED WATCHING THE PARTNERSHIP. I WILL BE WATCHING HIS SHOW CAREER WITH INTEREST. WELL DONE YOUNG MAN.

4TH KATIE MACMILLAN AGED 12 KATIE IS A CONFIDENT HANDLER. SHE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS AND FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY. HER CHARGE WAS A LITTLE UNSETTLED AND ALTHOUGH KATIE CHECKED THE BEHAVIOR IT MADE HER LOSE HER CONFIDENCE AND A LITTLE BIT OF FRUSTRATION SET IN. SHE DID HOWEVER ENCOURAGE HER CHARGE AND MOVED THE DOG WELL, WHICH PICKED HER UP EXTRA POINTS. WELL DONE.

5TH ERYN WILLIAMS AGED 13 IMMACULATELY TURNED OUT. A HAPPY YOUNG LADY WHO LISTENED TO ME WELL. ERYN PRESENTED HER CHARGE TO ME IN A KIND AND CONFIDENT MANNER. MORE VOCAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO HER DOG WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER AN ADVANTAGE. YOU HAVE TO BUILD ON A RELATIONSHIP AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE DOG IS ENCOURAGED BY PRAISE. OVERALL SHE HANDLED THE DOG WELL AND HELD GOOD LINES ON THE MOVE. WELL DONE.

6TH HENRY BLENKHAM AGED 13 HENRY IS A QUIET YOUNG MAN. HE WAS KIND AND GENTLE TO HIS DOG AND GAVE ENCOURAGEMENT.
