We competed on Saturday in the Yorkshire Working Dog and Service Competition and did quite well.
There were 17 dogs that entered, with 2 withdrawing half way through.
Xena and I came 2nd in the obedience section.
In the agility section we came 1st !...
We also scored highest in the manwork/protection.
However, in the emergency stop/recall element (which carries a wopping 50 points) she failed to stop, which resulted in 0 points!.
Only 4 dogs managed this discipline, but it had huge effects on the final results.
Will the loss of the potential 50 points in the emergency recall, we finished a respectable 4th place overall, with an individual trophy for coming 1st in the agility (losing only 1 point out of 80)...
A great day, really pleased... ... The standard of the other dogs was very high, with handlers that were much more talented and experienced that I, so I was quite humbled for us to do so well on the day.
Here's some pictures;
Firstly a quick pose before we go on, Xena checking I know what I'm doing.
The walk onto the protection field, Xena already in "I'M READY FOR 'EM" mode
Being presented with trophy for coming 1st in the agility round.
