Thank you to the secretary and committee for a lovely day. I was a last minute stand in judge and the show unfortunately clashed with toy day at Richmond Championship Show which certainly impacted the entry. Thank you to my steward for keeping the ring running smoothly and to the exhibitors for their entries and the friendly and sporting manner places were received making for a very pleasant day.

Handling Classes

An observation in all classes please talk to your dogs, communication and a connection with your dogs however well trained is pleasing to see and part of being a good handler. Also try to keep you dog’s in the middle of the mat as its there for your dog not you. Sadly due to me being a stand in judge these classes followed my other judging and were later on and many had left, personally I think these should be first on in the morning. Thank you to those that stayed.


Junior 6-11 yrs 1 entry 0 absent

1st Evie-May Smart 10 years old, quiet, gentle and considerate in her handling of her young collie of 9 months, overall her triangle and up and down were clean and accurate, Evie-May stacked her dog well and moved efficiently. No puppy is an easy option and congratulations on doing a good job. Lots of promise here and as her confidence grows she I am sure will have a good future in these classes.


Junior 1 – 16 yrs 4 entries 3 absent

1st , Best JH, Lilly Betty 15 yrs old, another quiet, confident and efficient handler, presented her cocker spaniel to advantage, moved at a good pace and completed her triangle and up and down cleanly. Excellent stacking and shadowing was smooth and unforced. A pleasure to judge.


Adult Handling

17- 39 yrs 7 entries 4 absent 

Three lovely considerate handlers, I really was splitting hairs, well done.

1st Best Overall Handler Paige Edens handling a Wheaten Terrier – handled with kindness and efficiently managed her triangle and up & down at the right pace for her dog. Stacked well and was unassuming at keeping track of where I was at all times and ensured her dog was shown to full advantage. Just edged the very competent BJH.

2nd Hana Holden handling a Flat Coat Retriever – Another kind and efficient handler despite handling a breed who are not the easiest, moved at a good pace and did a good triangle and up and down, stacking was clean and shadowing good.

3rd Niamh Woodhouse handling a Minature Dachshund 


40 yrs + 5 entries 3 absent

1st Victoria Norton handling a Kooierhondje overall good handling, stacked and shadowed well, moved at right speed but cut corners on your triangle so could be cleaner, but won class on overall performance.


2nd Tanya Keats handling Miniature Schnauzer handled well when stacked but slipped up on shadowing, moved at correct speed and completed her triangle and up and down cleanly.
