Whidbey Island results

Written by Sue MacDonald

Wow!!! What a FANTASTIC week!!! Cyril and Jen Roberts arrived on the Thursday before Whidbey Island Classic and had one day to try to recover from jet lag. Off to Whidbey Island we went on Friday, going the scenic route.

Whidbey Island is beautiful this time of year and the field and camping areas were perfect for the big event. We started with Open and nursery on Saturday and had a great potluck dinner after the trial on Saturday evening . Sunday we started with nursery and went right into open. All the novice classes were run on Monday along with the final nursery run.

Weather was perfect all three days for sheep and dogs. Rain at night and pretty nice during the day, not too hot and not too cold!

Susan's sheep were even and consistent. Thank you to Karyl, Dave, Alison and Pam for the great pen work! Also a big thank you to the handlers that went up field to set sheep (can't do it without you!), Linda DeJong for the score keeping and most of all to Susan Crocker for the use of her wonderful place and sheep!
The results are in!
