The Freestyle Championship

Sunday - the day for Championship Freestyle
The Union Flag was amongst the other National flags forming the back drop for all the routines.
At Running Order 20, Christina and Eze were the first of Team GB to compete.
They performed a fast moving routine to Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars.
Christina was dressed in her Union Flag "Cheer leader's" costume which suited the music well.
 And they did it!!!   Not a paw out of place.  Well done!
Kath and Spice were the next Team GB "players" at Running Order 28.
 They worked to the music "The Dance Fight" from Puss In boots
Although a quiet start - the music soon changes pace as Spice "stole" Kath's sword!
Spice pushing the barrel.  One of the best performances Spice has done to this music.
And a big jump towards the end.   Spice finished in the Top Ten finalists at 7th place.
 At Running Order 38, Hetty and Wizz took to the arena.
Performing to a "Hollywood Medley" they had super props for the Hollywood paving and the red carpet.
The routine flowed through the short soundtracks of  many great Hollywood Films.
Finishing with Titanic.  Well done Hetty and Wizz.
 At Running Order 41, Jackie and Indi had the longest wait to perform their routine.
They worked to the music That’s What I Like by Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers
Jackie and Indi covered the entire ring at speed!!!
Jackie kept good control of Indi's enthusiasm hitting these jumps perfectly on the beat.
At the end of the huge Freestyle Class of  48 entries, the reserve handlers and dogs were invited into the ring to entertain whilst the judges had a break for food.
Karen and Erin took to the open ring and performed to Lollipop by Mica.
Erin was another enthusiastic Team GB dog.
Well motivated and very precise when needed. 
A lovely end to a very happy routine.
