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.

[Margaret Sierakowski]

Congratulations, Susan! And thanks for the great photos. Also congratulations to Cathy Forster and Arouenn! And I think there were two more IRWS in Bad Kreuznach who also had good results? One was Askia of Bruichladdich?
Another IRWS success in field trials this weekend was in Norway, where Merete and Thomas's Toboggans Amazing Skadi was 2nd in a mountain trial, quite an achievement. Skadi and Askia are cousins (their dams are sisters, Dalriach Highpoint and Dalriach Heather) and Skadi's grandmother is Pepperstown Polly who is also the dam of Arouenn

Margaret, there are photos of Askia - just click on the slide show and you can access the individual photos. On day 1 Askia ran in the junior trial and she ran really well but I don't know if she was placed. I don't have the results of day 2 junior trial either. Polly can be proud of her descendants!

Thanks. Lovely head shot of Askia.
Who is handling Arouenn?
