YKC Members' Handling

A Big thank you to all the handlers for their entries and their patience.I understand it was very hot on the day and sometimes it makes it harder when the dogs are hot.

6-11 Years (13,5)

1st Myla Savory

Myla presented her dog correctly and kept a good observation on the judge at all times.The straightest of lines and good precise turns at corners and when turning.I could tell this handler had an excellent rapport with her dog too which is always lovely to see.

2nd Ava Savory

3rd Alexis Kirkwood-Emery

Another smart handler.Always sympathethic to her dog,especially in the heat and aware of my movements at all times.Clean presentation of her dog at all times and when showing the bite.Good pattern work but just make sure your lines are straight and watch where the judges feet are pointing.
