Dundee Canine Club

Camperdown Country Park, Dundee is where Dundee CC hold their annual Open show. Its a lovely setting, with many lovely mature trees dotted about, as you can see from the above photo. Conditions were ideal on June 12th with frequent sunny spells - enough to make for a few red faces the next day! Ground conditions were not quite so ideal due to the number of rabbit droppings that were scattered over all the rings! Not so easy keeping dogs heads up with such tempting scents about - especially for those breeds closer to the ground!

Junes Benson was on top form again, he took Best Of Breed, then the group and finished it off with yet another Best In Show! Congratulations!

The show is big and there was a lot happening at once so Im not too sure about how everyone did. Please let me know if you did well.

Toy - Jills Tiger and Chico were both 1st in their respective classes and Tiger took BOB. Rias Jasper also won his class, BOB and then G4. Elizabeth and Georges Lola was BOB. Sues Elwood was 2nd in a large breed Puppy class but went one better by winning the AV Minor Puppy Stakes class plus £10 to boot! (It all helps towards those fuel costs!)

Pastoral - Morag handled Jennys Sadie to win her class, BOB and then to win a very large group! Katrinas Leo won his Limit class and then BOB.

Terrier - Daveenas Inka was Best AVNSC and Caitlins Solo was BOB and 2nd in Puppy.

Gundog - Katies Lara won her Post Grad class. Lynnes Phoebe was 4th in a large Junior Bitch class.

Junior Handling - Glenn was Best Junior Handler and this qualifies him for SKC finals, Crufts 2011 and Richmond.

Well done to everyone!

There could well be more news but youll need to let me know. Not many photos either, Im afraid. Thanks to Karen for sending some in.

Classes cancelled

We arrived at the hall for classes tonight only to find that the hallkeeper had made a mistake with the dates and that the floor was in the process of being varnished! We did try to get the word out but it really was very short notice. Apologies to anyone who turned up expecting it to be on.

Classes will resume next week instead.

Good Citizen test night and a match

Last night was the last training night before the summer break, normal classes will resume on August 10th.

Our session hasnt quite finished yet though, there are two more weeks to look forward to.

Next Tuesday will be the Good Citizen test night, 7pm start for Bronze and Silver and around 8.30pm for Gold. If you arrive early for the Gold, you are welcome to come in but please leave your dog in the car until the test is due to start.

Finally, on Tuesday 29th June, we will end with a match (show not obedience) for club members. It starts at 7pm and our judge will be Pearl Crawford (Louiston).

Extra Bronze test

Since there are quite a few dogs in the first class who are ready for their Bronze, a test has been organised for next Tuesday. It will start at 8pm as usual and because it will take a little longer than a normal class, the top class will be cancelled for that night.

Dont forget your poop scoop, brush and that all important id tag showing your name and address.

Club match

GCDS test night

Last week we held our end of term test night. It was very successful with only a few not making the grade - keep practising...youll get there in December!

Jasper Pug is quite capable of passing all the Gold elements but decided on the night to give everyone a laugh by acting the clown! Next time Ria.

Thanks once again to Alison, our very competent assessor (firm but fair!), for coming such a long way and giving up an evening.

Well done to everyone who passed, see you back on August 10th.
