The Newfoundland Club

Recognising the achievements of Newfoundlands in Working Tests

Manager: Kay Burridge

Wow! what a great weekend of draught tests WNAG had at Whitemead in the Forest of Dean.Even the weather was on our side!
Quite a nice, manageable entry for both the Newfoundland Club & the Southern Newfoundland Club over the 2 days. Some lovely passes, while a few need a little more practice, looking at the judges comments they are not far off.
Thank you to everyone who came along & supported us, to the judges, stewards, entrants & to Whitemead who kindly allowed us to use their premises & have invited us back in January to do it all again.

Draught Level Beginners

Judges: Rebecca Thornton & Karen Thompson

Two very different dogs. Both passed at this level.
Dogs are so different and work in very different ways, young boys can be very difficult and headstrong girls can be calmer and more switched on.
Thanks to WNAG for hosting and all the stewards, if we didn't all pitch in we wouldn't be able to run these events.

Draught Level 1

Judges: Steve Pallot & Sue Sanders

It was a lovely autumnal day at Watermead for the first draft test of the season.
We had 4 entries in Level 1. Unfortunately one dog left the ring in the control section. The three remaining entrants did a nice manover section and there was some nice teamwork on the haul.
We had 2 passes today and we are sure the other teams will be successful soon.
Thanks to Kay the test manager and our stewards.

Draught Level 3

Judges: Jane King & Jeffrey Burridge

Thank you NC for inviting us to judge at this lovely venue, the weather was fine but wet underfoot after heavy rain overnight, there were 3 entries but unfortunately only 1 made it through the control section who then went on to do a lovely pass.
Thanks to WNAG for hosting the test.
