Thank you for asking WNAG to host this one day event. As always the group members all came out in force to support. The catering team of Martine and Lynne were fantastic! Well done ladies.
We had 23 entrants today:
3 in Beginners
4 in Level One
11 in Level Two

Many passes and some not quite ready this time.
The sun shone for us on what turned out to be a lovely, well-supported event.

It was a pleasure to judge at this venue in the Spring sunshine.
All three teams passed, one being a totally different dog from it's last beginners test. All coped well with distractions around the ring and are more than capable of higher levels when appropriate.
Thank you for the invite to judge.

On a fine and sunny day in Wales (and Yes, there are witnesses!) four dogs attempted Level 1 draught test. Two passes and two not quite there yet, but with practice, will get there.
Handlers must remember loose leads and on the haul to watch the back of the cart.
Our thanks to WNAG for the usual superb organization.

I was a stand-in judge for this Level. There was a really good entry. The standard from all of the dogs was very good. Some just need a little more practice with the down stays. All the dogs that went out on the haul did extremely well. The ones that didn't quite make it this time are more than capable of passing this level so better luck next time. Well done to all those that passed.
Thanks to WNAG for hosting what is always a great test weekend.

It was a pleasure to be invited to judge at the Tests at Parc Bryn Bach, stunning venue and location for all levels of Draught work.
We had a great entry for the tests with an overall good standard in the control section. The out of site down stay unfortunately meant we lost one of the teams. The heel-work of the dog was exceptional but he just adores his handler so much he can't contain himself to stay down when left. Four teams went on to complete a challenging haul with a great combination of obstacles to negotiate.
Well done on 4 passes and good luck to the other team who I'm sure will get there soon.
