Field Trials Bad Kreuznach, 3rd & 4th October, Irish Setter Club Germany

Instead of visiting the ISAE Championship show this year Glen and I spent two days at the Field Trials of the Irish Setter Club Germany in Bad Kreuznach. Day one it was a dry sunny day with a strong cold wind, day 2 was overcast with more cold and moist wind. Especially on Sunday the birds were scarce (or knew where to hide) and many good dogs did not get a chance to point. I was thrilled with Glen's result on the Saturday, in the Field Trial Solo he was placed second with gra… Continue

SCAV Field Trial on pheasant in Corcelles, Switzerland, 29. August 2009

We knew it was not going to be easy... By the end of the day not many of the 57 dogs entered (HPR breeds and Setters & Pointers) left with an award. Glen was given three good runs and worked hard, but finally we got cheated by a clever pheasant that first 'legged it' in the sugar beet and then flushed be… Continue

Search Dog training session

My setters have always enjoyed this search dog training and I find it an excellent way of keeping myself and dogs busy and active. We normally train in the forests but this time we were on more open ground so it was possible to take photographs.

I had the honour of being invited to judge at the international show in Rostock. The Landesgruppe of the Verein Pointer u. Setter made me very welcome and I had a super team to assist me in the ring.
