60^th MKA Obedience Trials

May 28th , 2006 - South City Plaza (Rooftop-Level 4B), Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Judge : Mr. Yap Hon Choong PJK PPN

Judge's Summary: Allow me to take this opportunity to thank trial manager Mr. Freddy Lim, the calling stewards Mr. Jimmy Lim and Mr. Suren ,  Mr. Paul  TC Chan, National Obedience Chairman, the competitors and others who have in one way or  other helped to make this trial a success. Twenty-six dogs competed in the Pre-Novice. Eighteen of them passed the test while eight did not qualify. Eleven dogs took part in the Novice. Eight dogs passed while the remaining three did not make the grade. All the three entrants for the Intermediate Class failed to qualify. The quality of heeling had been good, in some cases excellent. Stays were solid. Dogs forging, lagging behind, or being restrained by tight leash during heeling lost points. It is the same for crooked sit, stand, present, slow response to come on recall, sniffing the ground on heeling. Dogs stopped working incurred a zero score. Handlers adapting pace to dogs’ are also penalized. All the heeling faults are more pronounced at figure eight, which is an exercise that separates the men from the boys, so to speak. It has been an exciting and pleasant day for me to see such good work being produced. I have enjoyed myself thoroughly and I hope all the competitors feel the same. I would like to thank you all for accepting the results so sportingly. To those who have qualified in their respective classes allow me to say “syabas”. For those who did not make it this time, please do not lose heart. Please remember the saying: “Tomorrow is another day. With tomorrow comes another trial. There are always more tomorrows. And so it goes". ....................................................................................................................................................................................
