A wee dram... ... from the Scottish summer trials for Setters

[Susan Stone]

Once again the summer holidays had us heading up North, two thousand kilometres... no Olympics for us, not when we could see Setters (ok... and Pointers) at work!

We had our fill of excercise considering the amount of walking we did. As expected we saw great running from the dogs - plus one world class long jump from a certain Scots handler. I think we are now fit for the 'triple competition of combined mountain climbing long distance photo-shooting championships'.

the main competitors:

 

other participants...

 

and Glen...? Well, he seemed to have other things on his mind this time... mainly rabbits!

Thanks once again for all your enthusiastic comments! As Camilla put it, these were the true Olympics as we saw some fantastic athletics from all participants. The black Pointer is a little bit special, you will see what I mean from the following pic taken by my husband Thomas (despite my name covering it). Such a shame it is not in focus but it still gives you an idea... surely another Gold medal for Team GB!!!

Absolutely amazing ....  and certainly very athletic! there are horses and dressage in the Olympics, surely we have to add the canine team too  :-)
