News and results...

Graham Taylor launched the Brillo International Bounce in 2013 especially for Small and Medium dogs. It was named after a small dog he used to have - and yes, his KC name was Brillo Pad. The competition consists of 11 heats with three handlers qualifying from each. The class must be judged using current Kennel Club rules and each host venue will chose which grades are included for each size of Brillo International Bounce qualifier. 

2014 Heats Announced

The Brillo International Bounce will continue in 2014. The competition for both Small and Medium size dogs was a great success and it is hoped that competitors will continue to enjoy and support it. The Finals will again be held at Blenheim ATC Agility Show Weekend at West Midlands Showground, Shrewsbury on Saturday, 6 September 2014, kindly judged by one of last year’s finalists, Championship Agility Judge Don Cooper. 

This competition is indebted to the clubs and organisers that host the qualifiers. Without their support this competition would not be possible so a big thank you to them.

The heats are listed below.

In the event of less than 10 double clears at either size, then all double clears and dogs with the minimum combined faults will be selected to produce 10 dogs for the Final round. Time will be used with faulted dogs to determine those chosen up to 10 dogs. The 10 dogs will compete in the Final jumping round against the clock to find winners and enjoy a share of the £50 prize money at each size.

Graham Taylor is seeking 15 hosts to hold 2014 qualifying heats for the Brillo International Bounce for Small and Medium dogs. There are five confirmed hosts already.

Hosts are welcome to use any existing Agility / Jumping class at their show for these heats - no matter what grade and the Final will then be a mixture of abilities through Grades 1 – 7 run at each size.

Brillo International Bounce - 2013 Finalists
Final - Judge's Report
by Chris Jenkins

The inaugural Brillo International Bounce Final was held at the Blenheim ATC weekend show on 7-8 September 2013. Chris Jenkins, the Final's judge, has kindly written a few words to describe what was a fantastic afternoon that he enjoyed with a host of top class Small and Medium Agility dogs.

After being asked to Judge the Finals of the Brillo International Bounce competition the day had finally come. With wet weather due I had designed my courses and packed the waterproofs, but by some small miracle the sun shone over what was to be a great Final. 

Mandy Melville-Love and her Blenheim ATC team had made special arrangements for Ring 1 to finish early so we could start the Finals towards the end of the day. The first Jumping round was set and all was ready to go at 3pm, and being my first Final as a judge, the nerves had started to set in.

As it started, the relaxed atmosphere was something different at a Final but it seemed to make it even more enjoyable. As people started to sit round the ring and watch, as finalists aimed to get that all important double clear round in both the Jumping and Agility rounds to enable progression through to the Grand Final, the spectacle began to grow. 

Starting with Small dogs in the jumping, my nerves began to settle and I knew I had got my course right as over half the Small dogs went clear. Although not timed, you could see that there were a few early pace setters with Moira Bowden and Selena Bray setting fast times. It was now up to the Medium - they gave it a really good go with just under half of them getting that all important clear round.

With the Agility course now being walked, out came the tea and cake as all the finalists to enjoy a few laughs ringside before the second round started.

Alan Gardner - 2013 Brillo International Bounce winnerWith the poles still at Medium, they were the first to try my Agility course this time. As the first half of the Mediums passed, I was worried as Alan Gardner with Ag.Ch. Touch and Go Again Girl was the only double clear so far. But towards the end, it was like London buses which all arrive at once as five more pairs got double clears to give us a really good competition for the title of the Medium Brillo International Bounce Winner.

Handlers of the Small dogs emulated their fellow competitors delivering five double clears to take them through to the prize money Final round. Special mention to two of the younger handlers Sarah Wolverson with Asphen Santa’s Secret  and Alexa Netty with Sunny Apollo. Both young ladies held their own in very good company at their 1st Final and I'm sure we shall see more of both of them.  

The Smalls were up first with five of them through to the Grand Final and one of the favourites was first to go -  Selena Bray with Agility Champion Shanandi One and Only. They set the standard for the rest of the Small Grand Final with a cracking clear round in the time of 24.290 secs. I’d set a fast and furious course with some handling but the course flowed and without too much fussing for the dog.   A determined Moira Bowden with Truly Blinkin Scrumptious took the top spot away from Selena as they went over the finish line in a time of 22.805 secs, to be crowned the Small Brillo International Bounce Winner 2013.

Moira Bowden - 2013 Brillo International Bounce winnerWith the poles going up there was just six more dogs to run in my first Final as a Judge. Special mention should go to Linda Cummings who managed to get two of her dogs through to the Grand Final but, who unfortunately, found my course a little trickier than she wished ! First to go was one of the most successful partnerships within Agility -  Alan Gardner and Agility Champion Touch and Go Again Girl. They set the fastest time of the competition - 21.631 secs with what can only be described as the perfect round. Alan Wildman with Agility Champion Za Zar Zoom pushed as hard as they dared but were still over a second off Alan’s times, finishing second with a time of 22.858 secs. 

I really enjoyed my first Final as a Judge and am hoping I have more to come. What an excellent idea this competition has been for the all grades of Small and Medium dogs to showcase their talents. I would like to thank Graham Taylor and Mandy Melville–Love for all their hard work in bringing Agility this wonderful new competition and all the clubs and organisers who have invested their money and time in the competition.  I hope to see the competition back next year and I am sure that the final will continue to grow. 

Once again congratulations goes to Moira Bowden with Truly Blinkin Scrumptious and Alan Gardner with Ag.Ch. Touch and Go Again Girl.
