Crufts Agility Championship Finals 2010

I have been very honoured to judge some fantastic competitions over the years and it's hard to say which I've enjoyed most, or indeed found the most challenging! I have to consider this appointment to be, so far, the pinnacle of my judging career. What an honour to judge this event and experience rather like Olympia and the Jutlandia Cup which will stay with me always.

UKA Masters Series

This year (2010) I was invited to judge both a heat and the finals of this new UKA competition. I love the format; it's run over two rounds and so it means that handlers really push as hard as they can in both rounds. Very exciting to judge and I really hope it goes from strength to strength.

Here are my courses from the 2010 heat and the final, please click on an image to enlarge:

KC Championship Classes

I've judged a total of seven championship classes (not including Crufts) and really enjoy these as you see British agility at its very best. I am lucky to have had the honour of making up several dogs to agility champion which always adds an extra special dimension to the proceedings.

KC Olympia Finals 2006

I loved the experience of judging the agility finals at the Olympia Christmas horse show in 2006 and am so grateful to Dave Ray for inviting me to judge this amazing event.

Here are a couple of reports on the event courtesy of the Agility Voice and Agility Net.

Here is a selection of the courses that I set for this unique agility event. Nothing quite like it and so exciting, please click on an image to enlarge:

Jutlandia Cup

I was very lucky to be invited to judge at the Jutlandia Cup in Denmark in 2009. It was a week long event and I judged a couple of classes during the week and then had the honour of judging the finals at the end of the week.

I was able to compete with Kizzy during the week which I thoroughly enjoyed:
