How to prepare for the show:

Yes and now the double show on 22 June has gone with a lot of members home and happy. MLKA was judged first, followed by the HKC show and all was finished at around after lunch.

The club held its annual Championship Dog Jumping show on 31 May 2014 As usual at this time of the year, the weather was excellent bright sunny weather and still not too cold in the early hours of the morning.

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
