I was delighted to be invited back to judge for Rick van
Veeren at her show in the DogCenter. Rick and Jan welcomed me into their home
and spoiled me for the entire weekend.
Hard to believe it was 2007 when I was here last.
Many thanks to my score keeper Jutta van Damme, who kept my
paper work in proper order, stewards, Pré-Beginners Heidi Waelkens, Novice
Greet Vink, C Marianne Slegt, Stay
steward Ed Vink
You all did an amazing job of keeping everything running
smoothly, the competitors calm and me in order (not an easy job).
The DogCenter is a lovely place to judge at, as the 3 rings
were in 3 separate halls, so plenty of space for everyone. I have the honour of
judging Pre-Beginners, Novice and C and I hope that everyone enjoyed their day
as much as I did.
Pre-Beginners: 3
entries , 2 competed, 1 trained.
1st Lorena Linden and
Momo (Momo) crossbreed.
Their first time to compete in Holland. Minor faults, dog
going wide, loose turns, tight lead and crooked sit all added up and I have no
doubt will be ironed out quickly under the calm handling of Lorena. Lost
14.5 Congratulations.
2nd Jorg Gitzelmann
and Earth Dancers Don't Drink Alcohol (Doszka), Labrador.
Also their first time to compete in Holland. Similar faults
to the above team and I have no doubt will be sorted. Please watch your
repositioning of Doszka at set up as he thinks he needs to do this when you
halt. Lost a wee bit more than the
winning team. Well done.
Novice: 16
entries, 4 competed, 11 trained.
1st Karen Selhorst
and Grizzy Perro de la Casa Negra (Kwinta) Crossbreed.
Karen and a very eager Kwinta worked the round well. Kwinta losing position a couple of times in
both heelworks. A bump on present in
recall and a rather enthusiastic retrieve added to the marks lost. I am sure
that these will be fixed quickly. Lost 11.5.
Congratulations.
2nd Gina Valkenhoff
and Spirit (Spirit) Terverense
Herder.
Wide on heelwork and loose turns in heelwork along with not
sitting in present for recall and retrieve took their toll on Gina and Spirit's
round. Get those sorted and you will do
erll. lost 14. Well done.
3rd Ellen Reijenga
and Amduki's Cinnamon Swirl Sparkle (Sparkle) Border Collie.
Sparkle didn't want to sit when she got in the ring which
didn't help. There were moments of
superb heelwork during the round from this team so so she is more than capable.
Well dome.
4th Brigitta Van
Oevelen and Treasure Trove's DEX it had to be (Dex).
Minature Poodle. Dex
is a little character and struts his stuff around the ring, loving every minute
of it. Needs tightening up in all
exercises but I am sure that will come in time.
Well done
C 15
entries: 5 competed, 8 trained.
1st Guus Sholten and Halliganni Movie Star (Coco) WSD.
Lovely smooth round from Guus and Coco. Fast and accurate
sendaway only marred by Coco sending the back marker flying as she went down
(you can't beat enthusiasm). Missed a
position in D/C with a couple of naughty munches in scent. Lost 14.5
Congratulations
2nd Greet Vink and Candlewind Two Spots (Beryl) (Aunty Beryl
to me).
Nice calm heelwork from Greet and Beryl, different style of
the winner but non the less lovely to watch.
Clear sendaway with a slight blip in D/C and extra command in scent.
Lost 18. Congratulations.
3rd Moinique van Urk and Molly's Rio Special JonT (JonT)
WSD.
Minor faults with a missed position in heelwork, extended
command on pick up from sendaway box, drop of retrieve artices and a body
signal in retrieve, clear D/C, Bark and crooked present in scent and some
paddling in the sit stay. Lost 19.5
4th Angela Kroon and
Absolute Groovy (Groovy) WSD.
Groovy was a little naughty in all exercises which added
up. However, it did not take from the
enjoyment of watching this team work and judging them. Well done.
5th Guus Sholten adn
Ob Ch Danesway Duet (Gucci) WSD.
The 'if only' performance of the day. Was on 4 before scent but brought in the
wrong cloth. An awful shame as the round
was almost faultless. Well done.
There were some absolutely wonderful training rounds
throughout the day, where the handlers actually 'trained' their dogs in the
ring and built confidence and precision in the dog . A few people asked to do training rounds and
then proceeded to allow their dog's to make mistakes which doesn't achieve
anything positive.
Thank you all for allowing me to judge your dogs today, it
was my pleasure and good luck to you all in future
