January is the first month in the HTM Competition year - and it was truly successful for Lesley and Dewy.
They were placed 9th in the Crufts Semi Final Qualifier for Heelwork To Music - with the top ten placed going through to perform in the final at Crufts in March. A great position to finish in with plenty of potential to place higher!
And in the Crufts Semi Final Qualifier for Freestyle they were placed 7th which this time meant they perform in the Freestyle Final at Crufts with again a chance to improve on this place!!! GOOD LUCK LESLEY AND DEWY!!!!
Kath and Amber also competed in the Crufts Semi Final Qualifier for Heelwork To Music, After a very tough year with Amber sustaining two burst ear drums early in 2015, Kath knew her hearing would be impaired, and the KC Building with metal roof, busy chatter and lots of amplifiers could be overwhelming but she performed so well and reached a creditable 13th place sadly missing out on a final performance at Crufts.
Kath and Denby also competed in the Crufts Semi Final Qualifier for Heelwork To Music however, Denby's confidence wasn't at its best and Kath withdrew from competition completing the routine to gain more experience for this sensitive dog and her.Kath and Amber went on to be placed 3rd in the Advanced Freestyle Competition at the end of the day when sadly all the photographers had left the building!
Karen and Midge had a successful competition too as they were placed 3rd in Intermediate Freestyle.
