Bronze This trial was held inside one of the exhibition halls. This had only one entrance just rear of the start point, the door remained open throughout. The door at the far end was closed.The search area was quite complicated with a variety of part cockpits, displays and an added small room just before the end of the search which was quite contained. The white dog found both hides well inside the time limit. The first hide was approximately 12 feet from the start point at t

Trials Reports: Silver 1 - The first of today's Silver trials was at the Christmas tree farm outdoors and was set amongst 2 rows of Christmas trees. It was raining and there were ~12mph winds as well as lost off wildlife droppings and rabbit burrows which could have made searching challenging for the dogs. The first hide was located on the right-hand row of Christmas trees embedded in a tree stump. The second was in the back left corner on the outside of the tree trunk circa

This was held indoors.  The search area consisted of half of the hall area which just had stacks of chairs and tables round the perimeter. This then led into a carpeted seating / bar area. Both hides were located in the bar area, one at the far left under a table leg and the other located on a bar stool to the right as people entered the area. Some handlers clearly expected there to be a hide in each area causing them to spend too much time in a blank area highlighting the im
