RETRIEVING AUSTRALIA FORUM

Good Morning,

Just letting you know we are holding a RATG Trial Saturday 22nd June, 2024 at Orchard Hills.

Schedule and entries will be via Showmanager (I'll post a copy here once I can figure out how to do it )

Re: Unoffical Beginners Class (no qualifies)….this is for dogs that have never competed, and would like to test the waters, so to speak ….. There will be 2 runs and obedience…… runs will be shorter …. there will be help and advice from the judges during the class …. think of it as an encouragement class …. You will get a score sheet and a sash
