We had four entries this morning at Grangewaters and it was a very nice autumnal day. All four dogs got through the control section, one dog voluntarily did the down stay on lead, so we had three successful teams that passed after the manoeuvring and haul sections.

Thank you to our call steward and also to the test manager and SNC for inviting us to judge.

Our thanks for inviting us to judge at Grangewaters. The weather was kind and ideal for this Level 4. Five entries, two fail at control section and one fail on the haul, making two passes.

In general, it is change of pace and repetitive commands were noted for all but one. Much more control work needed for most dogs at this level.
