An attentive, calm & professional performance; 2 Sadie Giles-Wyatt, age 6, first time in the ring with a Beagle, will certainly make a very good handler as she is assertive & is very good at stacking. Learning the pace at which to move & more words of encouragement to her charge will see her do very well indeed.
