*** Canine One Day Event ***
This Event was held in the grounds of the Falcondale Mansion on 26th September 2011.
Twenty Dogs and their Handlers took part making up five teams.
Supported by Team Managers, Friends, Family and Fellow Training Members
Competing Teams were
'Foxy Ladies'
' The Show Girls'
'Bad Boys'
'Organised Chaos'
The Muttley Crew'
The Event consisted of a Showing section. In which one Dog from each team was put forward to be judged by Pat.
An Obedience section which consisted of heelwork and a recall.
Followed by a timed agility round.
The faults from each Dog were then added together with the 'highest penalty' round being dropped.
The Team with the lowest number of faults was then the winner.
