WGAA’s
retrieving trial was held near Seymour on what turned out to be great day
weather wise. The property was at its springtime best and with entries of 14 in
the Intermediate Stake, judged by Wayne Phelps, and 10 in the Advanced Stake,
judged by Andrew Yeomans, the scene was set for a great day.
Throughout
the day the dogs retrieved ... and retrieved ... and retrieved, across both
water and land. All dogs were tested over three runs in each stake with the
Advanced dogs tested in both blind and sighted runs.
Both judges
were complimentary about the quality of many of the competing dogs, especially
the placegetters; a testament to WGAA’s training day programme and the
commitment of the handlers.
Summing up –
a great end to WGAA’s 2013 calendar of competition events. Great property, great weather, cheerful
atmosphere – what could be better!
