The 2015 BASC Chudleys Scurry Challenge proved to be as popular as ever at the West Country Game Fair.
14 year old Becky Mann and her black labrador, Ellie, successfully completed the Lite Launcher Long Retrieves with a total of 24.97 seconds. Their fast time moved the dynamic duo into first place and has placed the young handler on the league table, earning her 30 points.
It was a joy to watch this promising youngster take part in a gun dog event which demands focus and the desire to succeed. Becky’s voice and body language towards her dog was calm and full of honest expression. The 4 year old working labrador eagerly responded to her every command. The scurry challenge enabled the pair to display energy and drive. It was obvious to see Becky has a truly unique bond with her canine friend.
There’s no doubt these events offer an exciting opportunity for young handlers to flourish with their dogs and enjoy the challenge of a competitive environment. It’s essential to encourage young handlers to participate in this sport and enjoy all areas of training and competition. Becky is one of our shining stars and there is no doubt we are going to see a lot more of her enthusiasm and passion in the future.
