Congratulations to:

Arnold's Staneberne Jacobs Ladder "Hector"

"Thank you to the SNC for inviting me to Judge at Bryn Bach Park. I love this venue and the WNAG always puts so much hard work into making their tests so hospitable and welcoming.

Thank you to the test manager Rhiannon for all of her hard work in making sure the tests ran smoothly and thank you to my co-judge David Taylor for his help and the laughs. We had eight entries, with almost everyone passing. It was great to see so many of the youngsters entered for their first tests and trying very hard to concentrate on the tasks.

I had a fantastic day and I'm looking forward to seeing all of the dogs progress as age permits."

Congratulations to:

Taylor's Mollynewf Lani Winona "Lani"
Taylor's Mollynewf Huritt Ashkii "Ashkii"

"The weather, although cold, was ideal for a draught test. Unfortunately due to the very bad conditions the previous day, the same could not be said underfoot with a lot of thick mud and boggy patches.

This said, all of the entrants other than one seemed to take it all in their stride with some lovely passes. The only fail being due to the dog in question refusing to do the 'down stay' due to the conditions. I am sure this team would achieve as good a pass as the other four given better ground.

I would like to take the opportunity of congratulating Rhiannon Burridge in doing a great job of Test Manager on this her first appointment, keeping the day running smoothly. To all of team WNAG for all the hard work involved in running an event like this - here's to the next one."

Congratulations to:

Hosie's Newfoundlove New Edition at Shadowrise "Solo"
Cadman's Sassena Loveable Bryn "Bryn"
King's Safeharbour White But Cute "Effie"
Wall's Blacktide Into The Blue "Blue"

"Thank you to the SNC for inviting us to judge on this bright, sunny but cold day. We had four entries and four very good passes.

All four teams to be more spacially aware of their carts and to remember not to have tight leads. With a little more work, all four teams should be able to progress to the next level.

Thank you WNAG and the Test Manager, Rhiannon, for hosting this test, Nev & Julie - the catering team and of course our stewards - we couldn't do it without you."

Kay Burridge & David Viney

Congratulations to:

Pallot's Vodahond Black Man Ray "Rocky"
King's Safeharbour Hey Baby "Bonnie"

"Thanks to the SNC for asking us to judge this Level. The weather was fine and sunny, but quite chilly.

We had four entries, two very good passes and two who didn't quite manage the three minute down stay. Both teams that passed worked well together but with a little more hard work could both progress to the next level.

Thanks to all the stewards, WNAG and Julie & Nev for the food."
