Area Championships 2008

Razz and I competed in the PetPlan Area Festival at Burrows Court on 28th July 2007. Razz scored 67.5% and came 6th. We did not qualify for the Area Championship automatically but later we were allocated a wild card entry.

The Area Championship is part of BD National Championships and was held at Hartpury 20th April 2008. The Area Prelim class had about 60 entries and was a two round competition. My target was to get through to the second round. In the first round we came 4th so we had met my target – in fact we had exceeded my target The judge at C for the second round in the afternoon was Jennie Loriston-Clarke so I was a bit nervous when I went past C the first time! The video shows the second and final championship round…

I went to check the scores afterwards and I could not believe it Razz had scored 71.36% and was in the lead ! I nervously checked the scoreboard every few minutes. When all the scores came in Razz was 3rd. Fantastic
