The Newfoundland Club

Recognising the achievements of Newfoundlands in Working Tests

Manager: Bev Clarke

Although I have undertaken the role of test manager on a number of occasions it is only fitting & proper that I endorse the tireless hard work of all the members of WNAG who worked so hard to make this draught test event such a success.
The weather in Wales did not disappoint! Bryn Bach was wet, muddy - but extremely good fun.
We had a relatively small entry quota of 13 dogs & handlers which was a little disappointing - but maybe understandable given the conditions however - everyone who entered - joined us - or stewarded; seemed to really enjoy themselves.
Special thanks to our catering team who ensured EVERYONE had warm drinks & sustenance to see them through!
Thank you to Bryn Bach Parc for your on-going support or our tests at your wonderful venue - see you soon!

Draught Level 2

Judges: Gill Hornsby & Jude Moulsdale

As always its a pleasure to judge at Bryn Bach, we had only 2 entries & both passed the first 3 elements with flying colours.
We were given the warmest of welcomes & then the weather brought an end to the warmth + the rain _ wind started.
The haul proved quite challenging for one dog who become fixated with the water & would not reset on the down stay or focus during the manoeuvring after.
With a bit of desensitisation we believe he will be really good in the future.
Congratulations on the pass, to the entrants

Draught Level 3

Judges: David Viney & Karen Thompson

Dave Viney
Weather was good but overnight rain made underfoot conditions difficult, we had eight entries six passed two did not quite make it with the backup.
The haul was very difficult because of the under foot conditions, All dogs coped very well and coped well with all the obstacles, working well as a team at times with a little assistance from stewards.
Thanks to the NC for inviting me to judge and to WNAG for organising the event and to test manager Bev.

Karen Thompson
The standard of the level 3 entrants was very high. All did really well with very few points dropped.
