Hard to split from the winner, with the decision coming down to the smallest of margins on the day. This class pushed the adults hard, with competitors showing breed-specific knowledge and adaptability. I deliberately alternated between more challenging patterns for the older class. Each handler had either a T or reverse T and I changed up when and where I moved each time for their return, ensuring they stayed on their toes and catch out any who weren’t quite watching my foot positioning. Some moves were designed to keep them guessing – even when I hadn’t adjusted a dog’s legs, a few handlers were so attentive to my hands they instinctively corrected their dog. It was a true test and I do apologise to those new to these classes - this class was worked hard! AHA 30 plus. 1st Ann-Marie Taylor. Handling a Border Collie with absolutely confidence, this competitor showed a huge level of adaptability. No matter what challenges were set, she took each in her stride, maintaining composure and focus while ensuring her dog was always presented to best advantage. Her ringcraft, pattern work and ability to adjust instantly to any request made her a pleasure to watch – I’m not sure what more I can throw at her - as she simply takes it all on calmly and carries on. 2nd Marguerite McShane Handling a Shetland Sheepdog this competitor showed good control and understanding of her dog, keeping a tidy outline and working well through the patterns.
