Which led to the super result… Continue

First time on a FIELD TRIAL

After 2 days of excessive training in Lohmann's fields with lots of wild partridges, many many hares and several pheasants, I decided to start a very first time on a FIELD TRIAL. Early Easter saturday saw us at the meeting point of the English Setter Club Germany's spring trial in East Germany.

My 8,5 months old LOHMANN'S ORTRUN (Chili) started in INTERNATIONAL DERBY for dogs up to 24 months. We came home with a VERY GOOD, 14 points and best Derby dog of the group !…
