The Weimaraner Club of Victoria held a RATG in conjunction with their Restricted to Gundogs Double obedience trials on 15th April. An excellent entry was received. There were 19 in Novice and 8 in Open. There was one disappointed entrant in Open who had to withdraw when his girl came in season. The judges were Mr Noel Eltringham who had his first appointment and judged the Novice class. Noel set some interesting runs which tested a few of the dogs. Open was judged by Mrs Kate Eltringham who also gave the competitors an interesting challenge. With 12 of the entrants entered in both of the obedience trials as well as the RATG and the unexpected delays with competitors going between the two the day did take a lot longer to finish than expected. The weather also was very testing for some when the temperature got to 29 degrees with shade hard to find. Despite the holdups many commented on having a really enjoyable day and were pleased with the runs set for them by both judges.
