Southern Counties Bearded Collie Open Show October 2019
Our congratulations to Cassie, Mary and David.
Cassie won pre-beginners and beginners obedience classes at the Southern Counties Bearded Collie Open Show for limited breed on Sunday 13th October 2019.
Annual Championship Obedience Show
East Grinstead’s annual Championship Obedience Show was held on 19th October at the South of England Showground in Ardingly. This is a prestigious and long-standing event licensed by the Kennel Club.
The Show was a great success with many club members involved in running the Show. There are jobs that anyone can help out with, no experience necessary, from helping to steward the stay exercises to being a ‘decoy’ in the scent exercises.
Pictured are the winners of the Championship classes:
- Trisha Jones winning the Dog class with Cloud (judge Anita Neal),
- and Mary Ray winning the Bitch class with Lyric (judge Pat Batchelor).
The winners of Championship classes go forward to compete in the Crufts Obedience Championships in March 2020.
Well done to all who took part in a thoroughly enjoyable day.
