"5 dogs today - 3 Newfoundlands, 1 Leonberger and 1 St. Bernard all with novice handlers. Generally handlers need to engage their dogs more and watch for loose leads. More control is needed before moving on to higher levels. However all dogs are capable of moving up in time.

It was good to see new faces taking up the challenge of carting."

David Taylor

"Thank you to the SNC for inviting me to judge on beautiful Jersey - the weather was as I have come to expect on the Island, windy and showery!

Jersey Big Dog Club did a great job in hosting the tests and thanks go to David (Test Manager) Anita for keeping us fed and watered, all the stewards and of course all the lovely big dogs who have worked so hard with their owners to be able to take part in these tests.

We had 5 entries, 3 Newfoundlands, 1 St. Bernard and 1 Leonburger who all passed Beginners Level today. Tight leads were the main concern today, together with the handlers needing to communicate more with their dogs but I am sure these will improve as the handlers confidence grows. Well done."

Kay Burridge

"We had three entries, sadly no passes. Two handlers were working unfamiliar dogs and the down stays caused the majority of the points lost. A good effort was made by all teams.

Pete Webber and myself would like to thank the SNC for inviting us to judge, thanks to Hailey for a sterling job as call steward. Thanks to the JBDC for hosting the event, a good venue in challenging weather."

"There were two entries on the day, with both passing on a very high standard. The course was good quality for the teams, making an enjoyable day for all.

Our thanks to SNC and the Jersey Big Dog Club for organizing the event."

Congratulations to:

Arnold's Staneberne With Love to Newfarrier "Evie"

"The control section was set up on the grass next to the centre, where we had three entries with one pass. Heal work was of a good standard, handlers getting dogs attention before turning and keeping their dogs close to heal. Back-up's were still a little difficult, especially straight! Down stays were perfect. Maneuvering section was done with ease.

The haul took place at St. Catherine's wood, with rough, rugged, watery pathways. The two mile course took in streams, bridges, woodland, steps and at one point a 5 foot high rock climb! All teams approached the obstacles with caution and were able to complete them in a safe manner.

We thank you for the opportunity to judge also thanks to the stewards and for the refreshments."
