Bailey's Second Retirement... (03/02/07)
A bitter sweet night as Bailey completes his Games campaign after a successful return from a 9 month retirement.
From 7 Games classes entered since his come back (and the only Games classes he has competed in since their inception), Bailey qualified 7 times, with 6 FIRST places and one THIRD place. He gained two new titles - his GD and SD title, and gained an extra GD pass for good luck.
At age nine, we feel Bailey has outdone himself, beating many young, quality dogs, including his buddies Sian and Rosie.
Good on ya Bail's...
The youngsters also had a good night, with Sian picking up 4 qualifications, including wins in the Excellent Strategic Pairs with Wendy Skelton and Ag. Ch. Hollie, and in the Excellent Gamblers class. She also qualified 2nd in Snooker Excellent, and 3rd in the second Snooker Excellent class.
Lara was one of only two qualifiers in a difficult Excellent Gamblers class, picking up the first place award. Congratulations also to Lee-Anne Roe and Tamaari Eyesasensation ADM ADO JDM JDO ET CD TDX SD GD SPD (Cassie), on a great run as well.
Rosie had a few passes also, including a second place in Strategic Pairs Excellent with Lee-Anne Roe and Cassie, and a pass in Excellent Snooker. |
