Southern Golden Retriever Society Limit Obedience Show28 October 2012
Judge Liz WhiteSteward Rod WhiteScore Gemma
Thank you to the SGRS committee for the invitation to judge at their show. Thanks also to Rod for his faultless stewarding and to Gemma for keeping the scoreboard so well.
We enjoyed our day with the Goldens. We were well looked after by the SGRS members and the hot lunch was very nice and much appreciated on such a cold day.
Pre Beginners
A nice class to judge. Some of the handlers didn’t quite know what was expected of them but well done to have a go and maybe some may be encouraged to train towards open obedience.
1st 56 Miss B Green & Caligo Chaos
This was my round of the day it was great to see the enjoyment the two of them had in each other – the dog worked with great enthusiasm and attention – they made my day. Congratulations.
2nd 72 Miss D Hudson & Aymsbury Akaysha
Lost marks for checking the lead but well done on 2nd place.
3rd 98 Mr & Mrs Morecroft & Poperinge Scarlet Ibis
Again marks lost for a tight lead, just needs to tighten up the heelwork to achieve a higher place.

Needs more work on the heelwork but very good recall – well done
