RETRIEVER ARCHIVE 2015
GUNDOG WORKING TEST
PUPPY, NOVICE DOG/NOVICE HANDLER
AV RETRIEVER TEST
Held at The Elms, Rockhampton on Sunday 9th
August 2015
From left to right John Cornforth, Debbie Polley, Pat Rogers, Laurie Pittaway, Simon Hagain
TEST 1 Water: A dummy was thrown into the water, puppies were sent from the bank, ND/NH heeled away 10 paces & then were sent back for the retrieve. A few had problems heeling away from the water, however the main issue was shaking & dropping the dummy when dogs came out of the water.
TEST 2 Mark: This was a straightforward mark with 2 dogs sat up & caused no problems.
TEST 3 Blind: This was down a track in the wood & most completed this test very well.
TEST 4 Pick up: The dogs were sent blind in to a well defined area of white grass to retrieve 2 dummies, even though the dogs had to pass the water where a previous test was held most dogs took a good line into the area. Those that were drawn to the water, the handlers were able to stop them & push the dog back.
TEST 5 Mark & Blind: The mark was followed by a blind, over a small jump into the wood.
TEST 6 Control exercise: Handlers heeled their dogs to a post, the handler returned to the judge, a dummy was thrown to the right of the dog. The dog was recalled & then sent for the mark. The test was the same for the ND/NH except this time the dummy fell out of sight. Some heelwork was a bit loose but on the whole the recall was very good.
There was a run off for 1st place in both the Puppy & the ND/NH, which consisted of a mark over the brow.
There was some good feedback back from the competitors because of the friendly, relaxed atmosphere & the tests were set not to catch anybody out. Those that were having problems were given advice by our helpful & understanding judges, Iris Wright & Jill Gardner who did an excellent job all day.
Grateful thanks must go to Michael & Sandie Goode for the use of their ground at Rockhampton. The chairman of BWWGS paid us a visit & was able to present the awards & last but not least a big thank you to Skinners for sponsoring the prizes, Sandie Goode & Deana Cornforth for stewarding & Annie Wales & Fiona Wensley who did such a stirling job throwing dummies, without whose help it would have been impossible to run the day.
