Back in good form after the Holidays!
23/24 january 2010

After a few weeks of good rest for the Van der Zweep kennel, Serge and Ellen started to train their dogs for a fresh new trial year.  

As how it looks now, Serge will run Lass, Jim and Eve this year and also his new goodlooking and topworkdog Spot. Ellen will run Tweed and her young dog Bill.

After a few weeks of training in the new year it was time to run our trial team in a nice class 2 and double fetch class 3 trial. Just to see how the condition of the dogs is and their form before the official trial season starts. And of course we were excited about how Spot was doing.

The results after two days of trialling were fantastic:

Serge and Spot won class 2 on Saturday and they were also overall winners of the weekend. Ellen and Bill (class 2) were 5^th on Saturday and 3^rd in the overall ranking of the weekend.

On Saturday Serge and Ellen had the first  four places: Lass 4^th, Eve 3^rd, Jim 2^nd and Tweed first!!! On Sunday Jim was the winner, followed by Tweed on the second place and that made Jim overall winner in class 3 and Tweed 2^nd!

Hope the dogs stay in this form, the first trial of 2010 is one to remember.
