JHA 

Class 223 6-11 Years (9/6)

1st 185 Ava Savory, Age 11, handling a NSDTR. Excellent handler who kept her eye on me at all times. Presented her dog well and moved at the correct speed. Nice straight lines and tight corners. Never once got in the way of my view of her dog. 

2nd 180 Holly O’Reilly, Age 6, handling a NSDTR. The youngest handler in the class but what a handler she is! Her dog was extremely fidgety and she coped so well with him. She really listened to my instructions and kept her focus on her dog at all times whilst also minding the other handlers in the class. 

3rd 216 Lyla-Rose Kirby, Age 9, handling a WSS. Very nice handling of the only stacked breed in the class today. Presented the dog well, especially when showing the teeth. Moved at the correct speed with good lines. Unfortunately, as I walked down the back of the line she didn’t move around her dog which cost her a higher placing today. 

Class 224 12-16 Years (7/7) 

1st 278 Edward Eddery, Age 16, handling a Pug. What a fantastic handler. He presented himself and his dog immaculately throughout the class. His dog stood perfectly both on the table and on the floor. He moved at the correct speed, with excellent lines and tight corners, making full use of all the space available to him. 

2nd 106 Frankie Golding, Age 14, handling a French Bulldog. Sympathetic handler who was calm and gentle with her dog at all times. Moved at a good speed and kept her lines straight. However just didn’t make full use of the ring during the triangle. 

3rd Leila Levene, Age 12, handling a NSDTR. Her dog really made her work hard during the class and she did an excellent job of keeping calm and controlled. Presented the teeth nicely and moved her dog at a good speed with good lines and corners.
