All the Trio were at Anglesey - Lesley and Kath judging and competing, Karen judging and then  taking time out to visit the glorious beaches with her dogs in the fabulous weather!

Good Results at Grantham

Kath and Amber Advanced HTM 2nd Place
Strictly Canine HTM Show held at the Arena in Grantham
Kath was competing this weekend with Amber and Spice.   The Advanced HTM Class was held just before lunch and in sweltering heat (22 degrees) Kath and Amber were placed second.
Kath and Spice Advanced Freestyle 1st Place
After lunch it was time for Kath to Compete with Spice to their music "The Dance Fight" from Puss In Boots - The Movie.  It was even hotter than in the morning but Kath and Spice won the Advanced Freestyle class.

A good weekend for good results.  For the other handlers and dogs in the team, they elected to do training rounds which are so very useful to keep the dogs in top condition.

The Top Lodge Trio then returned on the Sunday as 3 of the judges for the training show where they could use their expertise in the sport to help others.  A very busy weekend.
