Well folks, it seems we’ve come to the end of our trialling season before it really got going! Due to the Covid19 pandemic and state border lock-downs only 22% of trials planned Australia wide actually took place this year. For those who enjoy demographics, trials by state (held / planned) were: ACT 0/0, NSW 2/23, QLD 1/21, SA 8/22, TAS 8/18, VIC 6/29, WA 6/29, ALL 31/147.

Sadly, no RA Leaderboard Dog of the Year has been appointed due to insufficient participation to fairly make assessment on a national basis. Having said that, it would be unfair to not acknowledge the impressive performance of Rt Ch Nativerun Angus ‘’Guss’’ (Lab.D) and his loyal companion Mr Ray Ashenden (SA) who together, managed to amass 107 leaderboard points (3 times any other dog) winning 11 AA trials held in 3 states. A great result under the circumstances.

Although it wasn't a good year for effective comparisons, the results of teams that did manage to place have been added to the RA Leaderboard archive for the recored and can be viewed here.

So that’s all for this year folks, let’s put this one behind us and look forward to a more eventful 2021.... all the best and have a safe break.
