Collie Club of Victoria restricted to Group 5 Rally and Obedience trial
The day of the trial dawned fair and hot, with a certain amount of concern as to if we’d be under the temperature required by the heat policy. Fortunately, the weather gods smiled on us again and a cool change in the afternoon brought some lovely trialling weather by about 6:30pm, though the first few dogs did find things a bit warm.
Entries were down on our last trial, which was to be expected given the on again, off again lock downs Melbourne endured for all of 2021 and 2020. No one was sure we’d actually get to trial and many dogs, indeed most have had minimal training, so entries unfortunately reflected that. Our judges were fantastic, jumping in where needed and the pass rate was very good. Our high in trial winner for obedience won the open ring and the trial by gaining a stunning score of 199/200. Perfect and near perfect scores in obedience are a very rare thing and are to be celebrated. Anne and Maggie did the most beautiful run, and it was an absolute joy to watch.
We had a super entry for UDX which is the highest and most difficult of the obedience levels. The dogs worked beautifully though all had a hiccup here or there which meant the usual dearth of qualifying scores at that level, but it was wonderful to see our older dogs working with such enthusiasm and joy.
Our Collies did very well with every entry going home with a pass of one sort or another.
We were very fortunate to have Sal Robinson come and take photos for the trial. Sal is well known around the dog sports arenas, friendly and cheerful with camera in hand, she always manages to get a stack of lovely (and sometimes entertaining!) photos. She very kindly supplied the photos of the trial and trial winners for the chatter. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
