WATER TEST RESULTS
September 7, 8 & 9, 2007
Friday afternoon Sandee Lovett and Lynda Dunn judged the non-Newfs in the water. Thanks to stewards who were willing to arrive early and work with spotty showers, non-Newfs were judged in all three levels of NCA water exercises (6 WD, 2 WRD, 2 WRDX). The pirates seemed quite intrigued by what the various
dogs were able to accomplish. At the end of the day, the following dogs qualified for titles.
Water Dog: Flaps Down Long (Flaps), a Labrador Retriever, with Danielle Long
LCA Ch Muerfy Von Alpensee (Muerfy), a Leonberger, with Lori Peznowski
Water Rescue Dog: Flaps Down Long, WD (Flaps) with Danielle Long
Saturday morning and pleasant temperatures, everyone gathered by the beach to watch 6 dogs attempt to earn WRDX titles, the highest of the three levels of water work. Judges John Jackman and Barbara Jenness instructed the stewards, answered questions, crossed their fingers and were able to award the title.
