Congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to judges, Chris Sellars (Open/Improver) and Warwick Doolan (Novice/Beginner).

A big thank you also goes out to valuable sponsors, loyal supporters and hard working volunteers for contributing to such a successful trial, and to the Hay Bonanza team for their delicious catering.

VALE DOUG COMB

The Hay Working Dog Club community is very much saddened by the passing of one of our founding members Doug Comb.

A truly great bloke, Dougie will be fondly remembered for his big smile, friendly demeanour, positivity and willingness to help out at the drop of a hat. He was always one of the first at the yards to set up for our annual trial.

Our thoughts are very much with Dougie’s family at this time.
