Thank you for the opportunity to commence my judging career and to Kay for guiding me through. A nice selection of dogs from experienced veterans to young dogs starting their draught experience. All of our entries passed, despite some youngsters being very distracted by surroundings. A test that started in fine conditions that deteriorated to freezing hail! Well done everyone.

Four entries today and two dogs passed. With the exception of one dog, more focus needed on the control section, especially the change of pace. Challenging weather pushed handlers and dogs at times.

Many thanks to SNC for the invitation to judge. The weather stayed fine!

Five dogs entered, on the day two dogs withdrew. Of the three teams present, one retired. The other two teams went on to have good passes, one young dog not dropping a single point, we look forward to following this promising team in the future.

Weather a bit changeable today. We had four entries; three passed and one dog did not want to leave his dad. The teams that passed did a good Control Section - the only real problem was tight leads. All dogs did a very competent Haul, over some testing obstacles for this Level.

Thank you for the opportunity to judge, to SEWN members and Test Manager, Ken.

Thank you SEWN for arranging this test and SNC for inviting us to judge.

There was four entries, one of which failed to get through the control section and one unfortunately got up on the down stay at the end of the haul. Thanks again.
