REDDITCH & DISTRICT CS

Judge - Alex Hurley

The main areas of improvement in the handling competition are in the use of the ‘Golden Rule’, accurate alignments according to the Judge’s line of vision [feet position], care when showing 3 sides of the bite so as not to block the nose, presentation distance and lead control.
