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.  :)

Charlotte Edmondson sent this news to me, and it’s apt to put it here:

Charlotte Edmondson won an agility class on Saturday with Benji taking them out of grade 3 and into grade 4. On Sunday afternoon Andrew Edmondson won a combined 1 to 4 jumping class with Benji – this was Andrew’s first competition and he had only run Benji once before in training! Not bad for someone aged 9 and a half!

Well done Charlotte, Andrew and of course Benji!  It’d be nice to know where this all took place, but never mind ;-)
