Chapel Farm sponsored Agility Handler Melissa competed with Lottie at the Kingdom of Fife Agility Show held at Scone Palace. Things didn’t go as well as hoped on the Saturday but the Championship Class on the Sunday was a different story. A starting line-up of 45 saw 9 qualify for the final including Melissa and Lottie who achieved one of only 4 double clear rounds. Happy to simply get through to the final, Melissa and Lottie again managed a clear round and at the end of the competition were announced as Reserve Champions which is a tremendous performance given how new they are to Grade 7.

All at Chapel Farm are delighted for Melissa and Lottie on this marvellous result and offer all best wishes for future events.
Thanks also to Melissa for the photos, we have included the one of Lottie on her own as in all the times she has appeared before, we have never seen both ears up.

Chapel Farm was pleased to sponsor the Working Test run by Yorkshire Golden Retriever Club held at the Ryedale Country Show and Game Fair on the 18th and 19th of April where all proceeds were designated for the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. The event was spread over two days with both days equally well supported. The weather was just right, dry fine and not too hot, the atmosphere friendly and a wide variety of breeds featured.

Photo shows the winners from day 1:

Novice: Graham Cooper with Bella (black Labrador)

Open: Sandra Ellis with Peter (black Labrador)

Junior: Maisy Dent with Echo (Large Munsterlander)

Congratulations to the winners and well done to all competitors for taking part and thanks also to Graham and Martin of Yorkshire Golden Retriever Club for the update and photos.
