1. 2016/2017 Aust open Dog of the Year Update 1. 14/9/2016

Hi, Welcome back to the Australian Open dog of the Year blog for 2016/2017. A number of trials have already been run, so here is our first point score update. I resigned from point scorer and Narelle Johnston has taken over this duty, I will help her for the first few updates to get her up to speed with the point scoring system. 

Narelle can be contacted on home number (02) 6663 1559 or mobile 0417 711 215 and I can be reached Elissa (02) 6663 7070 or mobile 0437 070 158, email lissyjo80@gmail.com . Narelle although technically retired still works a number of hours at Lismore Base hospital emergency department as a registered Nurse. Don't hesitate to contact me or Narelle, to clarify points, dog names or request the full running sheet, only too happy to sort out any issues you may come across. I look forward to showing Narelle the ropes and I hope she enjoys this position as much as I did. The next update will be done close to Xmas.
