TDTC Tracking Trial Results 5th-6th Sept 2009

This was the final tracking Trial for the 2009 season, and while there was a bit of wind we managed to escape the rain.

It was fantastic to see 3 new trackers for 2009 (Liz, Maxine and Jan) from the Tasmanian Dog Training Club do so well, and were successful at the trial.  Great encouragement for the next tracking season.

We had a great trial thanks to all the efforts of Denise Burriss and Kim Houlden as judges.  They also gave some great advice to help trackers develop their tracking.  Thanks also go to Rob Tester, who took time out of his holiday to Tasmania to assist with stewarding, track laying, and resetting tracks

Congratulations go to the following who were successful at the weekend.

Bad luck to those who were unsuccessful at the weekend

I only managed to get some presentation photos, and these can be found in the photo gallery for the trial

Unfortunately there are no tracking photos of tracking at this trial as I got tied up setting tracks, stewarding, and tracking.
