My Competition Journey...
Me 'n Bert did a thinggggg at the weekend and took another step forward in our Competitive Obedience Journey...winning our first Test B.
We were 3.5 marks clear of the rest of the field.. I'm beyond proud of this young boy.
Judges Report:
1st Angela Watson with Hanans Golden Liberty@ Wygulmut (Berty). Golden Retriever.
HW 4 ¼, Sendaway ½, Retrieve ½, Scent C, Total 5 ¼.
"Beautiful Berty displayed breathtaking heelwork, no mean feat for mum Angela to achieve as he is such a crazy kid at still only 3 years old. He then had us holding our breath when it came to scent, since the last time we judged this team they led throughout the day only for Bouncing Berty to play the fool in the cloth department. This was the first B win for team A/B - there is no doubt that before the year is over they will be A/B in C. Fantastic job and so pleased for you!"
The journey so far...
2020 Berty was born
2022 Started competing in April. Won 2 x Novice and 1 x Test A
2023 Won 3 x Test A and qualified for BCOS Grand Prix Final. Did Obedience Display at Crufts 2023.
2024 Won x 1 Test B...
Next steps of the journey...
1 more B win
1 x 1st, 1 x 2nd, 1 x 3rd in Test C
This will put us in the top Championship C class where we can then compete for a place at Crufts.
If you've ever thought about dipping your toe into the world of competitive Obedience, jump in the water is lovely.
Learning and growing together, connected by an invisible thread, communicating by telepathy, there is nothing else like it for nurturing an unbreakable bond and the closest, loving relationship with your dog. It's a beautiful feeling... that wakes us up to the beautiful feelings in all of us.
