1-2. juuli tasemekatse korraldamine / How I organized nome-B cold game test


Results of second day: Beginners and Winner class rosettes are shared out well 
Together with Katri, we organised NOU and Nome-B tests on 1st and 2nd of July. On 1st July there were 8 participants in NOU (Retrievers Qualifying Test) and I was helping Katri when she did her judging apprentice with our Finnish judge Tuija Hukkanen. In the afternoon of 1st day, we started with the Nome-B (cold game) test with Open class. There were 5 participants in Open, and 2 of them passed with gradings.

On July 2nd, we continued with the 8 Beginners class competitors out of which 6 passed and we finished the nice day with Winners Class with beautiful work of Belinda Blue-Eyed Babe At Basteta with Milda and they got well deserved 1st grade!

Thank you to everyone for helping and to all the participants taking part!

Tasemekatse 27-28.mai 2017 / NOME-B cold game test

27.mail korraldasin tasemekatset, kohtunikuks oli Petri Tuominen Soomest. Toimkonnas olid abis Inga ja Aili, paadimees oli Tõnu ja püssimees Peeter. 28.mail osalesin Sädega esimest korda tasemekatsel. Start läks kenasti kuulekalt, takistuseks sai aga kohe esimese markeeringu vares, mida preili printsess otsustas siiski mitte tuua :P

Säde and I are now qualified as therapy dog team

Säde (Sansue Blue Sparkle), 3 years old, is now qualified as therapy dog as we passed the exam at Estonian Association of Assistance and Therapy Dogs with judge Katrina Jõemaa.

She appears soft and cuddly but she is a strong dog who can distribute her energy very well and keeps up for hours.
