Mazlin May 2018 10:58am, 20 May 2018 5,004 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin Rory and I did a Scentwork Trial yesterday while the rest of the country was lazing about watching the royal wedding. The dog has 3 minutes to find the scent and indicate to the handler in different environments. We were doing level 1, which is a vehicle search, tables and chairs, boxes and bags and ‘non-retrievables’ which are random heavy household objects lying around outside (like ladders, fans, hoovers). There are points for finding the scent, for the quality of the alert, for how well you handle the dog, and then how quick the search is is recorded separately. Rory only went and bloody came first in his level! He got 100% in the fastest overall time. I think we shall maybe retire from competitive scentwork now...

She has spent most of her walk this morning rolling in whatever it was she smelled of before the bath.........
