Congratulations to the winners. 

 

DEDICATION OR BARKING MAD!!!!
Sunday 23rd March

Training on Easter Sunday was a rather snowy affair. Despite the mixture of snow, a cold north wind and a temperature of about 1 deg C (felt minus a few degrees) about twenty intrepid handlers and their dogs took part. After the usual general assembly Mick took one big group through its paces with the normal mixture of walking to heel together with some short downs, recalls, etc..
The last twenty minutes those that were there from Roger's group and the other trainers split off from Mick's group to practice this years display routine. Training ended promptly at 11 and everybody was gone by 11:10am, about the quickest clearance we have had, something to do with the weather perhaps!!!
