Last weekend, MVODC held a weekend of rally and obedience trials, with some great performances, new competitors and plenty of valuable experience gained along the way.
Saturday – Rally Trials
The weather made things a little challenging on Saturday, with light showers for most of the day. It was fantastic to see some new competitors giving rally a go!
Although MVODC members didn’t manage any passes in the first trial, there were some excellent results in the second trial, and we’ll all take away valuable lessons from the experience.
Kay and Charm had an outstanding first trial, taking first place in both Advanced and Excellent, as well as winning **Best in Trial**!
Amy and S***t passed Advanced, while Amy and Haze passed Novice. Trish and Poppy also achieved a pass in Novice.
In the second trial, Kay and Charm continued their great form, passing Masters, Excellent and Advanced. Sandra and Harley also passed Excellent.
Amy had another successful trial, passing Advanced with both S***t and Brie, while Haze passed Novice and took out **Best in Trial**. Trish and Poppy also passed Novice, earning their title. Congratulations to everyone on their achievements!
Sunday – Obedience Trials
Sunday brought much better weather for the obedience trials, although the improved conditions didn’t seem to make passing any easier!
Trish and Poppy demonstrated their versatility by achieving a pass in each trial, completing their Community Companion Dog (CCD) title to round off a very successful weekend for the pair. Congratulations!
Kylie and Reggie also had a fantastic day, passing in both trials in the CCD class with impressive scores of 95 and 97 points. To top it off, they won Best in Trial twice
A sincere thank you to Heather Miller, our judge for the weekend. We greatly appreciated her expertise and the time she gave to judging our trials.
Thank you also to Geoffrey for stewarding, and to all our club members who generously volunteered their time to help run the trials. Events like these wouldn’t be possible without your support and hard work.
Congratulations to all our members who competed over the weekend. Whether celebrating a new title, earning a pass or gaining valuable ring experience, every trial is an opportunity to learn and improve.
Well done to everyone, and we look forward to seeing you all at the next trial!
