JUNIOR HANDLING
6-11 yrs
1st William Wearden - Sympathetic young man, handling a Border Collie. Talked to and encouraged his dog quietly and confidently in a controlled manner. Freestood his charge well and moved at correct pace. Just needs to remember the golden rule of not coming between dog and judge.
2nd Jacob Perfitt-Jones - Another quiet, controlled and good little handler handing an Alaskan Malamute. Need to build his confidence a little and believe in his own abilities. Encouraged his charge well, stacked and stood dog correctly and moved at the correct speed. Again, just needs to remember the golden rule.
12-16yrs
1st Maddie Buchwald - Confident, competent and talented handler. Handling a Whippet. Very sympathetic and doesn’t overhandle her charge. Quietly encouraged her dog, was aware of where I was at all times. Moved her dog at the correct pace and presented it to best advantage at all times. Tidy lead control, showed mouth and teeth well.
2nd Charlotte Robertshaw - Another good handler who was handling a somewhat uncooperative Golden Retriever today. She worked so hard to keep its attention and stayed calm and quiet to get his attention back. Tidy shadowing, didn’t ever get between myself and the dog and moved her charge at correct pace. Just needs to keep a slightly tidier lead.
