Today we held two wonderful trials over at Barnswood scout camp !
It was a beautiful morning, although a little foggy, which cleared a little and dropped again for the afternoon trial 🐾🐾 I barely noticed as I was lost in woods listening to the birds chirrup ❤️
The morning pre entry was a mixed bag of results and it appeared everyone, dog and handler, preferred to search outside today. The selection was run outside after the vehicle search. Everyone gained their vehicle badge, 50% gained their exterior badge and 8 out of 10 got their selection!! Yet only 2 people found both hides inside! The majority rushed in at the start and missed the first odour only finding the one in the kitchen at the end.
Well done everyone especially Charlotte & Monty as they have now staged up to entry.
🥇 Charlotte Wood & Monty
🥈 Alan Clancy & Sam
The Afternoon foundation trial started a little later than expected but we managed to get all searches completed and areas cleaned and off site before it went dark😄 The winner and reserve were the only 2 to find all hides today with the interior search being the more successful one with 70% gaining their badge ! I also saw a couple of beautiful selection runs this afternoon ❤️
🥇 Courteney Garsden @ Pree
🥈 Sue Taylor @ Shiri
