IRISH NATIONAL TRIALS 2009
GSA Ireland and OG Templepatrick are celebrating the success of this year's Irish National GSD Schutzhund and Tracking trial, judged by Herr Peter Rohde.
Spectators from all over Ireland and the UK were present to watch GSA member Christine Hynes and her dog Vongraf Jailer win the overall prize with 268 points on Sunday November 8.
The pair also scored highest in tracking with 94 points.
Another GSA combination, Joe Flaherty with Latchets Cleo took the protection work honours with 94 points while Scottish competitor Maria Hendry and her dog Pennywell Toby won the obedience trophy with 90 points.
In tracking David Buckley and TD3 dog Daio van de Hogemeentocht scored 90 points while Brian Simpson with Vee von Karthago (TD1) picked up 88 points.
On Friday a club trial saw Colm Cussen and Levi Vongraf score 260 at SchI level. In the SchII competition, Andrea Leamy and Barje vom Annacarton picked up 253 points.
There was also good news for two OG Templepatrick club members, Clare Weir with Bodo Shannossberg and Jenny Liddle with Nedindax Thor, who achieved their BH qualification on Friday.
Roberta Bolster with Willowdale Igel, from OG Craigantlet, also passed their BH.
Full results can be seen below on the GSA website.
Helper work was provided by club member Mark Jordan for SchI and II at his first ever breed trial as helper, with Tommy Murphy providing short work and Saul Wolsoncroft the long attack for SchIII dogs.
All three performed brilliantly and Tommy and Saul were congratulated for stepping into the breach at very short notice after injury meant that the club's original two helpers were forced to pull out.
However plenty of work was found for Alvin Davis, OG Templepatrick's Working and Utility Warden, who assisted with tracklaying, field stewardship and the raffle.
Visitors and competitors alike commented on the excellent facilities on offer and the organisation that went into the event.
Club members pulled together brilliantly and provided top notch catering as well as manning the car parks, organizing the raffle, sponsoring prizes, donating goodie bags, escorting competitors to tracking lands, checking microchips and tattoos and providing interpretation for the judge.
Especially dedicated was club member Irene Mills, who despite breaking her wrist after a fall on her way to watch the BH trial on Friday morning, returned from hospital in the afternoon to continue serving tea and stew in the kitchen all weekend!
Many thanks also go to the O'Hanlon and Blackbourne families for sponsoring some of the beautiful trophies on offer, and special thanks go to the Blackbourne family for their provision of probably the best facilities and trial field for dog sport enthusiasts in Ireland.
Despite being such a young club, OG Templepatrick is growing in size and strength and offers training in obedience, tracking, agility and protection work.
President of OG Templepatrick, Gayle Boyce said: "We have been delighted to host this very prestigious event and we are all now looking forward to the future knowing what we can achieve thanks to the hard work of our members. There are just too many people to thank!"
The club is proud to announce that it will be hosting the Irish Sieger in April 2010.
