Adult Handling

17-35 years (6/4) 1. Sarah Finch Both excellent handlers. Sarah stood her dog correctly, giving him confidence and totally engaging with him.

She showed the dogs teeth clearly and moved the dog, when asked, at the correct speed showing its best attributes. Presented herself and the dog impeccably. 2. Katrina Poole stood her Pekingese on the table, front on, correctly. The dog was well groomed and in excellent condition. Katrina handled her dog with care and encouragement, showing its teeth and shadowing the judge at all times. When moving the dog she did not rush, but was conscious for the best speed, to show to its advantage.

36 yrs plus (2) 1.Janet Rice. Showed her dog with care and attention. The dog held her focus and was placed between her and the judge at all times. She showed the dogs teeth and moved at the correct pace to benefit the dog. Janet also took the time to impart her experience and encourage the younger handler. 2. Joanne Brock. Less than a year into handling Joanne is keen to learn and coming on very well. She stood her pointer four square and showed its teeth. She learned to shadow the judges and moved as one with the dog keeping it in the judges view at all times. Very promising.
