UTILITY BITCH
Cat No. 150 OC, TC Bronzehund Delectable E.T. SCORE: 133 NQ
Commenced with a very good seek back exercise. Both send-away exercises excellent at a good speed. Non-qualified at the scent discrimination exercise by retrieving wrong articles, the metal being her favourite today! In the signal exercise, very good heelwork – dog unfortunately failed to down from the signal given at a distance. The dog in the glove retrieve exercise retrieved the correct glove. In the group exercises, full marks awarded.
Cat No. 151 OC Iniff Street Credit AD SCORE: 187 (1ST)
This dog’s seek back was very good with only minor points lost due to mouthing. Both send-aways were excellent. In the scent discrimination exercise, dog performed very well in all parts. In the signal exercise, dog moved two feet at the final part. A very good speak on command exercise.
Group exercises – full points awarded.
OPEN DOG
Cat No. 152 Iniff Excalbur CDX SCORE : 193 (1st)
Very good heelwork, full points for stand for examination. A brilliant drop on recall. The retrieve dumbbell exercises were both very good. Full points awarded for the broad jump. Sit/Down stays full marks.
Cat No. 153 Adelora Orion CDX ET SCORE: 155 NQ
In the heelwork lost points for working wide. Full points for the examination. Unfortunately this dog non-qualified by failing to drop on recall. Minor points lost in the retrieve exercises for crooked fronts, a slow finish/crooked finish.
At the broad jump the dog jumped slightly crooked. Sit/Down stays full points given.
Cat No. 154 *Allinka Ultimatum A Z HNeg CD SCORE: 174 (2nd)
Most points lost in the heel free; dog occasionally going to wrong side of handler and occasional guidance by the handler in the figure 8.
Full marks for the stand for examination. A good drop in the recall and the flip finish executed correctly. A crooked front in the retrieve dumbbell on the flat, with 2 points lost. A re-throw was necessary with the retrieve over the obstacle incurring a minor deduction. With the broad jump, the dog jumped crooked, finished but failed to sit on the finish, given a substantial deduction.
Sit/Down stays both correct.
OPEN BITCH
Cat No. 155 OC, TC Bronzehund Delectable E.T. SCORE: 186 (1ST)
Some excellent heelwork and full points for the stand for examination. In the drop on recall, handler extended the “come signal” and dog finished crooked. In the retrieve on the flat exercise, only minor points lost, however, I would like to see more enthusiasm from the dog. The retrieve over the obstacle was good with only a crooked finish. In the broad jump, the dog did not jump quite straight, only minor points lost. Full points for sit/down stays.
NOVICE DOG
Cat No. 156 Taurorn Jazzman AZ CD ET SCORE: 180 (1ST)
Heel on lead – only minor points for occasionally bumping dog. Full points for the examination. In the heel free, again occasionally bumping and inattention from the dog before entering the figure 8. The stand stay received full marks. A very nice recall, however, substantial points had to be deducted for handler failing to leave distinct pause between the dogs name and the command to come. Solid stays – full points awarded.
Cat No. 157 Cougar SCORE: 120 NQ
This dog performed some steady heelwork, however, most points lost for missed positions. The dog broke position in the stand for examination and non-qualified. In the heel free, the dog lost considerable points for missed positions. The stand stay was fine. The dog performed the recall well, only receiving minor point deductions for a crooked front and finish.
Sit Stay - full points, but broke the down stay. .
NOVICE BITCH
Cat No. 158 *Vondoussa Bold Bitch AZ SCORE: 87 NQ
On lead, dog worked reasonably well, lost points for heeling wide in figure 8. Full marks for stand for examination. In the heel free, dog was behind in the heel position on occasions, missed a drop and lagged and cut the figure eight once but received a qualifying score. The stand stay, no problem. In the recall, the dog received a zero score due to anticipating the handler’s call.
The dog broke both the sit and down stays as the handler was returning to her.
Cat No. 160 Sagenhaft Sheer Majic AZ TD SCORE: 101 NQ
Heel on lead steady with points lost for missed positions and inattention. The examination received full points. In the heel free, this dog unfortunately missed all drops, lagged in the figure eight, then failed to accompany the handler around the figure at least twice.
The stand stay received full points. A very nice recall with minor points deducted for a crooked finish. Handler withdrew before stay exercises.
Cat No. 161 Rovene Gambler’s Corah SCORE: 186 (1ST)
The handler in the heel on lead lost points for the dog through handler errors and the dog missed a drop. The dog moved 2 feet in the examination. The heel free was excellent. The stand stay given full marks. A very fast recall, fast finish with only 2 points lost for a crooked front. Stays – full points.
Cat No. 162 *Gretelheim Fanta AZ ET SCORE: 174 (2ND)
In the heel on lead, dog lost points for poor stands, missed positions. Handler needs to work on left turns and try and be less nervous. The examination was no problem. Off lead work was better and no problem with stand stay. With the recall, minor points lost by dog sitting too far away from handler in front, otherwise, good. Stays were fine.
Cat No. 163 Adelora Tennessee AZ SCORE: 147 NQ
In the heel on lead, handler lost points for bumping the dog on left turns, otherwise, a good performance. Stand for examination received full marks. In the heel free exercise, the dog stopped off the peg and failed to come up to the handler when given a further heel command. In the stand stay, the dog stopped again off the peg, was another attempt and then performed the principal feature. A good recall, jumped up in the finish and slightly crooked. Solid stays, full marks.
WINNER OF WINNERS, SATURDAY 8/6/2002 JUDGE MRS A RUMBLE
Cat No. 151 OC Iniff Street Credit AD(1st in Utility Bitch)
A good, steady performance by this bitch and good handling, only a slow down and moved feet in the stand stay.
Cat No. 152 Iniff Excalbur CDX(1st Open Dog)
Excellent heelwork, in the recall, dog failed to sit on lead up, otherwise very nice. A lovely example of teamwork between handler and dog.
Cat No. 155 OC, TC Bronzehund Delectable E.T.(1st Open Bitch)
Excellent heelwork, a good recall – although pace was brisk, I would have liked to see her come in a little faster. A very nice working bitch and good team who won my Winner of Winners – congratulations.
Cat No. 156 Taurorn Jazzman AZ CD ET
In the heelwork, dog got a little distracted and then missed a sit. A very good recall. A very willing young novice dog and relaxed handler who make a good team.
Cat No. 161 Rovene Gambler’s Corah
Dog lagged on the first part of heelwork but finished off with a nice recall with only a slightly crooked finish. Overall, this bitch worked very well, watching her handler. This young bitch appears at this stage to have a very promising future in obedience.
I congratulate all class winners; I was very impressed with your performances in the Winner of Winner’s ring. It was very pleasing to see such good teamwork between dogs and handlers, and overall, work of an excellent standard.
