PMGC held its Novice and Open Working Test on the fabulous ground high on the moor at Claughton.
This was on truly challenging moorland where the technical retrieves and natural ‘bunkers’ in the terrain tested the dogs and handlers, rather than the distances.
The judges, Keith Broomfield, Barbara Everitt, Tony Everitt and Mark Palmer presided over some great tests and scored consistently and fairly to produce very worthy award winners.
We were very kindly sponsored with prizes for our awards by BASC, Skinners Dog Food and Sporting Saint via Gavin Howe, Regional Officer for BASC North.
The award winners were:
Novice:
1st Rob Watson, Threapaw Hinberry
2nd Sandra Braithwaite, Braitoft Audacious
3rd Stephanie Rowe-Catterall, Mekoro Advocate of Fierce
4th John Farrell, Badelstow Girl Gold
Open:
1st Roz McIlroy, Westerkames Fargo
2nd Michael Nelson, Hawkgarth Hornet
3rd Claire Salter, Jofless Keane
4th Caroline Wainwright, IsleofMan Turner
