The Alpha Agility Challenge Heats 2012

Heat 2 - Lincoln Agility Enthusiasts - 21 & 22 April 2012

Lincolnshire’s mud did not discourage the rising stars of Agility a few weekends ago when judge Jayne Widess found her five qualifiers  at the LAE show on 21-22 April. They came from Yorkshire, Suffolk, Nottinghamshire and The West Midlands. Fittingly, her winner Bele of the Beach, handled by Sally Jervis, is based in Lincolnshire. Jayne’s Alpha Wildcard went to Flow Breean Easy handled by a very delighted Anya Vestland. 

With less than two and a half seconds between the five qualifiers, Bele of the Beach’s 30.681 seconds clear round was clearly impressive in the conditions. No doubt Sally hopes to recreate her success on Sunday, 30 September at The Alpha Agility Challenge Final at Malvern.

Heat 1 - Easter Egg'giity

The first heat of the 2012 Challenge, held at Bretford DTS Easter 'Egg'gility' Show on 7 April 2012, drew competitors from far and wide for judge Colin Hyland's excellent course.

There were five qualifiers who came from Surrey, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire and the West Midlands but the first 2012 winner came from leafy Gloucestershire.  Aberscoch Sweep The Board, handled by Steve Swankie, beat the 2nd placed dog by less than 200^th of a second. Colin awarded his Alpha Wildcard to The Little Leprechaun, handled by Ros Donovon.

Organiser Graham Taylor said: 'It was a great heat and we are looking to an exciting few months of competition. We are delighted to have performance dog food experts, Alpha Feeds sponsoring the Alpha Agility Challenge once again throughout the year.'

 With eight more heats to run, it looks like the 2012 final will be one to remember.
