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

[Susan Stone]

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 grading very good (only two dogs placed) after an excellent point on pheasant within the first few minutes of his run. On Sunday Glen went extremely well and I was hoping for a grading excellent, but despite three excellent runs we did not come across birds.

On sunday, wa were lucky and Arouenn had a 4th run with a pheasant. So in FT solo, we had 3 dogs with a point. Arouenn with Very Good, Cotton Candy with Good and the young Gordon setter from Guiseppe (his name ?) with Good.

Congratulation Susan with Glen.He seems a very consistent dog lets hope that he will have the luck to have a good run finishing off with a stylish point with birds in the very near future.! It surely cant be far away!

[Susan Stone]

Thank you for all the kind words... yes, I'm proud of my boy;-)))
Bravo! to Cathy and Christophe with Arouenn (United Spost O'Hara) and Cotton Candy! So it was worth the long wait to the bitter end and you got a final and succesfull run:-)) Super!
Pity I had to leave at 17.30 but it took me till 22.30hrs to get home and I hate driving in the dark.
Sorry I have no pics from the 2nd day - it was just too cold and grey...
Ursula - no skills needed, it is all done for you;o))
