Back-to-back wins for Melvich novice dog trials winner at Kirkton Farm
A total of 17 dogs took part at this year’s Novice Dog Trials in Melvich on Saturday.
At a windy Kirkton Farm, Magnus Sutherland took care of the judging before presentations were held in the poly tunnel, where food and refreshments were enjoyed.
The winner for the second year in a row was Daniel Worthington from Scarsferry, with Buzz at 96 points.
Worthington was followed in second place by Ian Sutherland from Strathnaver with Bob at 89 points, and Neil Sutherland in third, also from Strathnaver, with Benji at 88 points.
Michael Findlay with Taff at 87 points finished in fourth place.
A spokesperson for the event said: “It was a good turn out with 17 dogs. There was some good old faces but also some new which was good to see, we even had a dog run from Anais who was on holiday from Correze in France, and Heidi who came all the way up from Inverness to try her first ever attempt at a trial. She said she enjoyed it and will be back next year, which would be great.
“We always have great support with our main supporter this year being Wind2 wind farms which we are very thankful for, along with a lot of local businesses who kindly donate. Without them it wouldn’t be possible.”
