Rushden and District Dog Training Club
Lovely write up from Discover Dogs for Paul Watts and Fred.
"2nd: Paul Watts with Soaring Fred (xb), losing 4 ¼ (play 1 ½, heelwork 2, examination ¾, recall clear, gate clear).
This team stole the hearts of my team, and no doubt will do the same in the final! A handler who must be over 6’ tall, with a tiny little crossbreed terrier, and yet they make a perfect match together. Heelwork on par with the winner, and a fabulous clear recall. Good luck at Crufts – let him shine!!
22nd October:
Congratulations to Paul Watts and Fred. 2nd place today which qualifies them for Crufts. Fantastic achievement- Paul's first dog and Fred only started competing half way through the year
13th October:
Congratulations Charlie, Roxy, Buddy, Alice, Flash, Mukki, Tilly and Gosling for successfully completing their Puppy Foundation course...
12th October 2016:
Congratulations to Jemma Thorneycroft with Mabel, Jan Lovelock with Dora, and Tom Asbury with Bella for passing the Kennel Club Good Citizens Bronze test on Monday night, and commiserations for those who were not on this occasion successful. Further congratulations to Tom and Bella who posed without moving in all of my photographs unlike the others!

13th August 2017: Judges write ups for special pre-beginners on Saturday...well done all!
1st 421 Margaret McDevitt and Carricks Popping Candy WS Lost 3¼
Maggie and Evie worked third in the running order and put on a very impressive display. Great play, lovely consistent heelwork and almost nothing to mark on the set exercises. Maggie is a lovely handler and allows Evie to flourish. Just do some more work on inspecting her feet during the examination. I am not surprised you have already qualified for the semi-finals and I wish you the best of luck.
4th 88 Tracey Brawn and Monochrome Murphy Crossbreed Lost 7
You can’t help but notice Murphy when he comes into the ring – what a handsome Cavapoo! Very stylish heelwork, but remember not to slow down before the turns Tracey. Very little to mark on the other set exercises, so had there not been that anticipation in the recall, who knows how much better you would have done. A team with a lot of potential.
5th 488 Martina Perry and Calonlan Corvus Cavalier KCS Lost 7¼
Another ‘what might have been’ duo. Chance worked a lovely heelwork round and lost very little on all the other exercises except the play. Unfortunately, despite Martina’s best efforts, Chance was more interested in sniffing the ground than playing with his toy. Martina took it all in her stride and they clearly have an excellent relationship.
6th August: Well done Tracey Brawn and Murphy getting 3rd in special pre-beginners at Hatchford brook today
2nd August 2017: Congratulations to everyone achieving their Puppy Foundation award last night. Sorry none of the dogs posed properly for the photographs and few of their trainers!
