Results and Critique
I would like to thank ASCUK for their kind invitation to judge. I was thrilled with my entry, some tricky classes. However when I looked up to see the bitch line up for best bitch it took my breath away, I could have taken any of them home with me, I was delighted with my overall winners who wouldn't be.

Obedience - Paul Cousins
Many thanks to the ASCUK Committee for inviting me to judge this year and for the bacon butty and lunch, both of which were most welcome and tasty. Thanks also to Glynis for ring stewarding for me - the first time for several years she told me. The weather was kind to us with only a few spots of rain. There were some lovely dogs competing, some with more success than others. The joy about this type of event is that it gives people an opportunity to try working their dogs in obedience without the pressure of a formal open or championship show. I hope those competitors and dogs just starting out in obedience found it enjoyable and will continue with their training. It can be a rewarding sport as well as frustrating at times.
​
Special Introductory
1st Magical Love Elvikam, A very nice two year old Red Tri Bitch, handled nicely by Megan. The team had a clear Stay and 'Play with your dog'. A bit of pulling by Bonnie and some movement off the leg lost a few marks on the Heel Work. Bonnie went off to play before the present in the Recall which also cost a few marks. Bonnie is still young and showed that she has potential. Stick at it Megan.
2nd Soloyal Secret Romance, Another nice young Red Tri Bitch, handled by Joanne. Unfortunately Tabta followed Joanne as she left her dog in the Stay. There was some very nice Heel Work with only a few minor faults. No sit on the Recall cost a few marks. Another dog with a clear 'Play with your dog'. It was a shame about the Stay. Get the Stay sorted out and I feel you could both go some way in obedience.
​
Special Pre Beginners
1st Magical Love Elvikam, Only the one entry in this class. I think that Bonnie had had enough by the time she got to this class. Clear Sit and Down Stays (I think she could have stayed in position for hours). However, part way through the Heel Free exercise she decided to go off and see another member of the family. Do not worry it happens to us all at some time.
​
Special Beginners
1st Elladays Chuwy, Again only one entry for this class. A handsome Black Tri Dog. Clear Sit and Down Stays. Although his attention was drawn to other things going on in the field he completed his stays without moving. His Retrieve and Recalls were nice. His biggest problem with the Heelwork was lack of attention. This resulted in a number of minor faults, otherwise both exercises were very good. I must come clean here and say that I have Chewy's sister who had the same attention problem. I have managed to work through this, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
​
Special Novice
1st Rannaleroch Chilaca at Applecreek, A very nice Blue Merle Bitch who worked very nicely. Most of the marks were the result of minor errors which can be easily corrected. Work a little on your turns and you should soon be winning a novice class at an open show.
2nd Elladays Chuwy, A close second to the winner. I thought that Chewy worked this round better than the Beginners round. Dropping the dumbell in the Retrieve exercise made all the difference.
3rd Silvarcea American Smooth for Jochurra, A pretty Blue Merle Bitch. Nice Retrieve and Recall. Wide right turns and drifting off the leg accounted for most of the Heel Work marks. Again these are errors that can be corrected quite easily.
4th Lyveden Castill Chaska, A mature Red Merle Dog. Nice Heel Work and Recall. However, the Retrieve let you down. Sitting for another 7 seconds would have seen a clear Sit stay. The Down stay was perfect.
