ARCHIVED TRIAL RESULTS

DECEMBER 2003

30th December 2003    Sheep Dog Results.

Three trials were held in the North of England over the festive period which all raised money for charity.  Alf Kyme hosted a nursery trial at Lumb, on Boxing Day, where £300 was raised for cancer research.  William Heslop of Baxenden judged the entry of 41 dogs.  Over an undulating downhill course the winning trial came at number 12 when Jim Cropper and Glen scored 79 points.

Also on Boxing Day Stuart Stevens hosted an open trial at Temple Normanton, where Nij Vyas of Wigston judged an entry of 45 dogs.  £103 was raised and donated to the Western Park Hospital, Sheffield.  Over a testing course that was set over two fields the running was on good to manage continental crossbred hoggs.  Running early at number seven Dennis Hudson took the title with his homebred dog Nap.

On Sunday Nick Bennett organised another testing open trial at Hesketh Bank where £140 was raised for a cancer charity.  Over a large flat course the running was on manageable Swaledale hoggs, however, the very wet and windy weather made both seeing and hearing difficult.  Bob Clarkson of Embsay judged the entry of 58 dogs. Richard Hutchinson earned the highest score of the day with his young bitch Sally.

22nd December 2003    Sheep Dog Results.

Jim Cropper enjoyed a double victory last weekend taking one nursery title with Glen and another with Shep.  At the Lee End Farm Charity Nursery held on Saturday, James Burrows of Silverdale judged an entry of 35 dogs.  Over a flat compact course the running was on manageable Herdwick cross Charolais store lambs.  With the first run of the day Jim set a high standard with Shep gaining 84 of 90 points.  With run number seven he equalled that score with Glen.  The decision went down to the driving and the title went to Glen, his third win of the season.

Later that day Jim competed at the Windermere nursery, held at Winster, where Joseph Relph of Borrowdale judged an entry of 36.  Once again the running was on store lambs, this time mainly Texel and Cheviots.  With run number 21 Jim earned the winning score of 69 of 90 points with Shep, pushing Stuart Walton and Frank down into second place.  A smooth coated dog with a half white face, this was Shep’s second win of the season.

At the North Westmorland trial Frank Noble and Moss also took their third nursery title.

Mike Beaty judged an entry of 35 dogs as they worked touchy Mule hoggs over a rising course.  Alan Elliot set the standard gaining 68 points with Gael, but with the following trial Frank and Moss pulled ahead by a single mark.  Moss and Gael are from the same litter bred by Alan in May 2001 out of Nell and by Roy.

2^nd December 2003    Sheep Dog Results.

Roger Handy took both first and second nursery places at the third and final Bamford trial of the season along with the nursery aggregate.  Peter Wood of Derwent, judged the entry of 24 nursery and novice dogs.  On a sizeable flat course that cold be gathered from either hand the running was on touchy mixed ewes.  With an early run Roger had an outstanding round with Bet to gain the winning score of 85 points.  The only other nursery dog to score into the eighties was Bet’s kennel mate Jock who took second place on 82.

Two-years-old, Bet was bred by Mrs S. Mobberley of Ludlow out of Gawcombe Gill and sired by Ken Old’s Dick.  Jock, who being the runner up at all three trials took the aggregate title, was homebred in April 2002 out of Cass and by Roy.

Winner of the novice class was Francesca Wilkinson’s Huthwaite Belle, handled by her father Stuart.  Four-and-a-half-year-old Belle is homebred out of Holly and by Bill.  After being twice the victor and on Saturday the runner up, Dennis Hudson’s Floss took the novice aggregate.  Floss was bred in December 2000 by Charles Pickford of Rainow out of Midge and sired by Stuart Wilkinson’s Skye.
