The Judge was from Bloemfontein in South Africa, he judged all the Dog Jumping grades. He used to have German Shepherds some time ago, but now has Border Collies. He gave various lessons in DJ and OB on the Friday before the shows. He believes in teaching his dogs with verbal commands.

I have tried to make some pictures of the competitors, unfortunately not all I could put a name to. So they will be unnamed till some one can send me the details
