Discover Dogs 2011
The club had two members competing at Discover Dogs in the Special Pre-Beginner Obedience Stakes semi finals held at Earls Court on 12th and 13th November. They were Sheila Croft & Jilly in the Collie section and Susan Edwards & Sky in the ABC section.
The top five in each section go through to the finals at Crufts but unfortunately Shelia & Jilly came around 10th and Susan & Sky came 7th. Nevertheless it was a fantastic achievement to get that far and quite an experience for all concerned.
If you have not experienced competitive obedience, why not enter for the Special Pre-Beginner class at our own Warlingham show this summer? To do this, you will need to have your dog registered for competion at the Kennel Club and have achieved the Bronze level in the Kennel Club Good Citizens scheme.
Triathlon 2011
Despite a last minute change of venue, the triathlon was a great success, and the rain held off for us, everyone was able to enjoy the events and the barbeque whilst enjoying the sunshine.
We raised around £320 so thank you to all who participated and special thanks to Lynn Anderson, Jenni Wiggins and Sandy Evans who were our judges for the day and to Rose Dean who stewarded.
The winning team was Odds and Sods. Mary Chapman & Rusty, Sally Milne & Caramel, and Yvonne Goodall & Millie.

Warlingham Open Obedience Show
Our annual Open Show took place on 25 June. All went off very well and thankfully the weather was kind to us. There were some successes for club members with Susan Edwards & Sky gaining 1st place in the Kennel Club Special Pre-Beginner stakes and Sheila Croft & Jilly taking 3rd place. Both will now go forward to the Southern Area Semi Finals of Discover Dogs at Earls Court in November with the aim of progressing to the finals which are held at Crufts 2012. Also, Moina Van Der Heijden & Yip achieved 2nd place in the ‘B’ Dog event. Well done to all three and to the other Warlingham members who took part.
Our tombola raised £177 which will be going towards our charity for the year – The Riverside Animal Centre. Many thanks for all the bottles donated for this.
