Handling 
6-11 years (8,2)

1. Eliza Darwish. Did a grand job and did everything asked with panache and accuracy. Worked very well with her dog all through. 2. Erin Holgate. Another very skilled handler who looked the part, did everything asked and worked well with her charge. Little to separate the first two. 3. Ava Oddie


12-16 years (8,2)

1. Francesa Wilson. Foot perfect in her performance and at one with her dog at all times. They worked in unison together and were a great team. 2. Charlotte Robertshaw. Just pipped to the post by 1 as her dog wasn’t quite playing ball at the end and this unsettled the partnership. Very close up to the winner. 3. Ashley Sutton


17+ years (17,6)


1. Bryony Fossett. Very accomplished handler presenting a professional partnership and demonstrating a good rapport with her dog. Communicated all the time to let her dog know what to do and how to do it, excellent kind handling.2. Jo Malin. Did a good job with the GSP and did everything asked. Very close up to 1 indeed, but just not quite the same confidence at the winner at the moment. Great handler. 3. Maxine Proudler.
