Wow what a day yesterday was! I went to the try outs with Skye to be in the GCDS silver North West Demonstration team for Crufts 2012. Kathryn Stickney was also there with Harry, Emma with Bella, Elaine with Rosie and Jackie with Snowy. Excellent turn out from Newton Heath. There were around 35-40 dogs there and only 9 could go through. Sadly Rosie and Snowy didn’t make it but the good news is that Skye, Harry and Bella all made the team. We are doing the demonstrations on the Friday and Sunday at Crufts. All the dogs there were amazing, the selection panel had said the standard of all the dogs were one of the highest they had seen. Great day for Newton Heath Obedience section and special thanks has to got to Ken Worrell and Trevor Avis for their hard work in getting these dogs to this standard.

Newton Heath Flyball Team had a great weekend at Bakewell. We entered 2 teams the Timelords and the Warlocks. First in was Newton Heath Timelords who ran on Saturday. They were running under their new seed time of 18.20 and were in division 2, not to be sniffed at Running in the team was Amanda with Holly, Janet with Jaz, Me with Brodie and Kathryn ran my other dog Skye. We also had a very special guest dog with us, Tina with Jake. We had 5 races to do and won 4 out of 5 making us the division winners. We had to work hard on some of the races but manged it and came away with 1st place.
Sunday saw the Warlocks running. There are usually 5 dogs in that team but sadly Ken couldn’t make it with Star so the team ran as a 4 dog team. There was Kathryn with Harry, Amanda with Sandy, Nathan with Milo and Tony with Mila. The team were great. They again had to run 5 races and topped the day by winning all 5! Again they came away with 1st place!
