Retrieving Australia has been asked if it intends to include results from AG trials in the RA Leaderboard ?
We do.
RA is independently dedicated to promoting retrieving sports and club activities in Australia. If a club holds a retrieving trial operating under general Dogs Australia rules (notwithstanding the type of game used) and chooses to publish the results on the RA Forum, those results will be added to the Leaderboard. The Leaderboard records a dog's performance, gives readers a sense of perspective, makes placegetters feel good about their achievements and hopefully encourages participation.
When a dog heals up to the Firing Point it thinks "I'm going to do the best retrieve I can" no matter what comes out of the thrower.
That’s what we value.
