Emmy
Simonsen / LP1 LP2 LP3 DKLPCH HYRDPR Bridacre Wisp CGCEmmy Simonsen and Border Collie Bridacre Wisp was the only team in this class. Emmy and Whisper were the first team - and so far the only Danish team - to win out of class 1. Despite of the lack of competition, nobody thought that they were unworthy winners. They gained no less than 27,2 points and looked absolutely elegant when they did their routine to the untraditional choice of music - especially for a fast dog like Whisper - Bach's "Ave Maria". |

Heelwork To Music class 3
Judges: Emmy Simonsen (head judge), Johanna Allanach and Knud Djernes.
Reports by Heidi Frederiksen
HTM is still a very new sport in Denmark and no Danish teams has had time to qualify for class 3. Luckily our 2 English judges, who has done so much to help us get this sport started in Denmark, was ready to compete. Their routines could give any HTM handler - or handler to be - motivation to do an extra effort in their training.

Emmy
Simonsen / WhisperEmmy Simonsen and Border Collie Bridacre Wisp won the class with 25,5 points. They have now qualified to represent Denmark at the International HTM Competition in England at Crufts 2007. Emmy and Whisper did their Lord of the Rings: "Concerning Hobbits" routine. It has a high degree of difficulty and it is perfectly timed to the music. It is clear when you watch that routine that Emmy is the most experienced Danish HTM handler and she is a worthy representative for Denmark at Crufts. |
