The Newfoundland Club
Recognising the achievements of Newfoundlands in Working Tests
Manager: Bev Clarke Report
The weather in Wales did not disappoint! Bryn Bach was wet, muddy - but extremely good fun.
We had a relatively small entry quota of 13 dogs & handlers which was a little disappointing - but maybe understandable given the conditions however - everyone who entered - joined us - or stewarded; seemed to really enjoy themselves.
Special thanks to our catering team who ensured EVERYONE had warm drinks & sustenance to see them through!
Thank you to Bryn Bach Parc for your on-going support or our tests at your wonderful venue - see you soon!

Draught Level 2
Judges: Gill Hornsby & Jude Moulsdale Report
We were given the warmest of welcomes & then the weather brought an end to the warmth + the rain _ wind started.
The haul proved quite challenging for one dog who become fixated with the water & would not reset on the down stay or focus during the manoeuvring after.
With a bit of desensitisation we believe he will be really good in the future.
Congratulations on the pass, to the entrants

Draught Level 3
Judges: David Viney & Karen Thompson Report
Dave Viney
Weather was good but overnight rain made underfoot conditions difficult, we had eight entries six passed two did not quite make it with the backup.
The haul was very difficult because of the under foot conditions, All dogs coped very well and coped well with all the obstacles, working well as a team at times with a little assistance from stewards.
Thanks to the NC for inviting me to judge and to WNAG for organising the event and to test manager Bev.
Karen Thompson
