Snowless, sunny, FUN!

 

These key words describe the Bittersweet New Year's Day Trial in Hampton, CT.

Added to this was the warm spirit of the season brought by that handler's

gathered here to run their dogs welcoming in the New Year! The trial ran

efficiently, allowing for a relaxed New Year's luncheon midday. With laughter

and cheerfulness abundant, the atmosphere was much like a family reunion.

 

Kathadins were run for the dogs in the Novice, Pro-Novice & Nursery classes

with the notorious Bittersweet Border Leicester/Cheviot crosses saved for the

more experienced Ranch & Open dogs. Ellen Skillings ably judged over 50 runs

while Sylvia Murray, Sara Murray and Larry Campion worked the hold out pen.

secretarying, exhausting, scorekeeping, etc., making this the success it was.
