We held our mixed test of Special puppy, Veteran and ND/NH at Covers Pit, Westerham by kind permission of Kelvin Nettleingham. Covers Pit is a fabulous location offering a huge diversity of natural terrain so tests options are endless.
The judges set some challenging tests with each one tweaked to take account of the different classes.
With 40 competitors it was a long day but the sun came out in the afternoon which was a bonus.
Special thanks to our 4 wonderful judges Helena Sully, Kelvin Nettleingham, Mandy Smith & Carly Madgwick who took time to give feedback to the competitors and a huge thank you to our helpers who had a long day. As we all know, helpers are invaluable to the running of tests.
