Junior Handling

6-11 Years (3,0)

1st Thomas Taylor

Smart handler,very attentive with his dog at all times.Presented his dog very well.Had brilliant straight lines and was very precise with his corners.His dog was playing up a little but this didn't stop him getting the best out of the dog.

2nd Libby Rycroft

Another very good handler,always watched what I was doing at all times whilst also keeping an eye on her dog.Presented her dog very neatly.Good lines,just watch you are going as straight as possible.Some lines were a little off but still a very positive young handler with a lot of talent.

3rd Chayton Clark

This young man was a brilliant handler who gave it his all.Stood his dog very well and always listened to everything I said.Good pattern work and pace,just make sure you don't come between the dog and the judge.

12-16 Years (3,1)

1st Harriet Duffield

Excellent handler.She was very precise with her pattern work and lines and didn't get in between the judge and the dog at any times.She had to swap the hand she had the lead in but done this so clean and smooth you wouldn't really notice.She presented her dog superbly and so the dog looked it best.

2nd Lewis Wilkinson

This handler had brilliant pattern work and lines.Only thing is he moved the dog before I instructed him what I wanted to do.Just make sure you wait for what the judge wants you to do first.Very polite and smart young handler with excellent clear show of the dogs dentition and bond with the dog.
