LURE COURSING 27 AUGUST 2006

As both bitches were in season we only took Panda with us. He had a very good score of 176/200, coming within the top 25/95 participants, you can imgaine how chuffed we were with a comment from the Huntsmaster: "What a great little dog, what a great run".

LURE COURSING 17 SEPTEMBER 2006

Jemma, Panda and Jazz at Lure Coursing on 17 September had scores of 166; 169; 170/200 respectively.
Jazz was 2nd out of 19 in her group including Border Collies, German and Belgian Shepherds, an Aussie Shepherd and a Swedith Vallhund. A very credible run from Jazz as she had taken a corner too fast and had a tumble.
In all, the shelties came within the top 14 of 95 dogs participating.
