Golden Oldies

Spent a lovely day with the Golden Oldies despite the persistent rain.  Scottish Working Trials run this competition every year for those dogs who can't compete in Working Trials any longer either through age or injusry.  There are no jumps or stays but just a lot of fun!  Helen was the judge and I stewarded the competition for her.  We had 9 competitors, a mix of GSDs, Retrievers, Collies and even a Schnauzer! 

The tracks were all worked well with the toys and treats well received by the dogs.  The cocktail sausages at the sendaway point caused much hilarity with just one dog ignoring them and it was a Labrador too - very unlike them!

It was a real pleasure to watch these dogs really enjoy the competition, every one of them strutted into the field and excelled at every exercise.  A thoroughly enjoyable day outdoors with good friends, good dogs and good exercise!
