The Newfoundland Club
Recognising the achievements of Newfoundlands in Working Tests
Manager: Ann Thornton Report
We had a large number of dogs for the weekend. On Saturday the weather was warm and sunny, we started with E's there were 5 dogs entered it was a shame that there were no passes they all came so close, then C's it was a large entry with 12 dogs and 3 passes, then A's yet again we had a large number of dogs 12, so by this time it was getting late so we ran two test areas and had 10 passes.
Then on the Sunday the weather changed and it was very misty and fine rain that is a normal training weather.
We started with the B's this time again we had 16 dogs. SO we split them again, out of the 16 we had 5 passes all the dogs were so close, then it was the D's we had 9 dogs which 4 passed, by the time we came to pack up the sun had come out and it did turn out warm and sunny.
I would like to thank all of WNAG for helping out so much over the weekend as I was hobbling around and to the judges for coming and standing on a lake bank in the middle of the welsh mountains
Thanks again
Ann

Water Section C
Judges: Susan Marsh & Kevin Clarke Report
Weather conditions were fine with a slight breeze every now and then.
Out of 13 entrants one was withdrawn and 4 passed
Congratulations to them well done, the others who didn't quiet make it were a combination of points fails and exercises not completed in accordance with the regs.
All entrants had potential and those that didn't quiet do it today wont be long before they succeed.
Handlers need to be aware of what physical handling is and what they can and cannot do.
Thanks to co-judge Kev Clarke, Thanks to everyone there for all their hard-work and as usual the wonderful hospitality and stewarding
A great day

Conditions on the day were good nothing to hinder the entrants. We had 5 entrants and unfortunately no passes. But several entrants only missed out by one exercise and the rest were almost 4there but not quiet on the day. keep up the good work.
Thanks to Co-Judge Karen Thompson all the stewards and the usual hospitality from everyone at the tests.
