Joint Selection Trial Results 2015

The 2015 Trial Was Not Held

 

Following the selection process of both organisations it is was evident that the entry to the Joint trial would not be supported in a manner that will provide a team to go forwards to Finland 2015.

It was felt that the geographical location, in no small part is the main reason for the lack of support for the event.

On this basis, the two organisations decided to cancel the event.

All arrangements in respect of the 2015 event were concluded jointly by both organisations.

Judge’s Report

Tracking Terrain Spring wheat approx. 10cm high sparse in places wind light with light rain in patches.
Sunday venue Epworth Showground, weather rained hailed and snowed all day, handlers and dogs should congratulate themselves in performing to the level in the conditions.

Track 7 P Flanagan with Sepp v haus Silma
The best tracking of the day with calm HIGH INTENSITY to each footprint throughout the whole length of the track 2 corners need to be smoother but the loss of the final article (minus 7) lost the HIGH V rating 92 VERY GOOD
Obedience

My thanks to the tracklayers who got up at daft a clock to do a thankless task in contribution to the event.
Thanks to the helpers who in difficult condition gave a fair and consistent test to all the dogs.
Thanks to the committee for inviting me and looking after me.
Big thanks for the handlers for their entry and the effort they have given for presenting their dogs on the day, the overall standard was higher than we have seen for a few years in particular the obedience and the biting/striking of the sleeve in the protection phase.
A word, sportsmanship is PARAMOUNT in the sport and should never be sacrificed in the will to win.
And finally it is 11.30 pm Sunday night the above has been written basically from memory because my notes are like paper mache and I apologise if there are a few mistakes in the report.

Trial Report

The Severnside Group was proud to host the above trial and welcome the well known and respected judge, Dieter Schmale (SV), to officiate.  Wales has a reputation for wet weather at the best of times but, on this occasion, nothing could be further from the truth.  The weather was glorious and the hard working members of the Club ensured that the many visitors were well looked after.

So, to the tracking phase on the Saturday morning.  The tracks were laid by our own SV recognised judges Gavin Smith and Jim Jackson who must be thanked for their efforts on behalf of the Club.  The conditions at the ‘Straight Mile’ tracking fields were the best they had been for many years.  Dense, lush grass and no wind created high expectations for some really good performances.  For whatever reason, this did not prove to be the case and from the twelve competitors four scored in the 90s, three in the 80s, two in the 70s and three did not achieve a qualifying score.  Henriette Bohnstedt topped the list with Beckenberry Casper with an excellent score of 98 followed by Chris Goodridge on 95 with Optikas Hugo and then Bryan van Daal on 91 with Argonne Drago.

Dieter Schmale respected the fact that he was judging an important Qualifier and throughout the weekend he pointed out some procedural errors which can only be of benefit to those handlers in the future.

Sunday saw the running of the Obedience and Protection phases and it was decided to complete the obedience en bloc before moving on to the protection phase.  Dieter sharpened his pencil and, with Phil Sergent at the helm, things started on time and everything was in its place.  A breakdown of the scores shows that three teams scored in the 90s, three teams in the 80s, three teams in the 70s and three partnerships did not achieve a qualifying score.  Once again it was Henriette leading the field with a great score of 95 points, followed by Carol Phillips with Hausbailey Flint on 91 points and Bryan van Daal with 90.  Dieter’s critiques were clear, concise and very much appreciated by the spectators as well as the handlers.  Where necessary, he explained very clearly where and how points were lost so that the competitors knew what to work on for the future.

After the lunch break the protection phase got under way.  The appointed helpers were Roger Lledra (short work) and Nick Koskinas (long work) both of whom put on very consistent performances and must be congratulated.  This time only two teams scored in the 90s, Henriette with 92 points and Ken Foster 92 points with Night Time Gem.  Four teams were in the 80s, four in the 70s and there were two teams disqualified.  There were a couple of ‘hairy moments’ in the long attack when the internal satnav of two dogs malfunctioned and they headed for the judge.  Nick got one back on track and Dieter used his clipboard to good effect with the other.
Without doubt it was disappointing that only five teams achieved qualifying scores but, as stated at the outset by Dieter himself, it was a qualifier and he was going to judge accordingly.  The feedback he gave through his critiques will help the competitors to raise their scores at future trials.  He emphasised that competitors should know the rules and procedures when trialling at this level.
