UPPERWARD OF LANARK CANINE SOCIETY

9th AUGUST 2008

JUDGE - LINZIE RICHARDSON

JHA 6-11yrs (5,3abs)

 Both handlers need to remember about the distance in which they stand the dog from the judge on the final stand. Also remember to finish your up and down and then bring the dog back to stand in front of the judge.

1. Laura Smith, dressed smartly in black which complemented her dogs colour very well.Stood her dog very well and moved it nicely as well moving in straight lines at a nice pace for her dog. When moving her dog she was able to keep an eye on me and her dog. Made sure she had the dogs head up whilst she was moving and talked to her all the time. When the dog was hesitant to finish the triangle I liked her gentle persuasion and calm attitude. Never came between the dog and Judge and gave me a full view at all times. Just had that extra polish which stood out and said look at me!

2. Nikki Aiken. Did very well handling a big dog was able to show me all the teeth in a calm and capable manner. Moved her dog well and also had nice straight lines. Just watch that the paws are correctly placed whilst standing. Has the makings of an excellent handler which all comes with more experience and cofidence
