The Gundog Club - Hunting Retriever Grade I

Well this evening Briarlow's Nuevo Principio (Carmen) got a distinction in the Gundog Club's Hunting Retriever Grade I test.

It's a nice basic test for beginners where the dog has to walk by your side on the lead, then sit stay whilst you walk away and then do a recall. Then you have two controlled retrieves the first in short grass and the second in long grass.

Carmen for once was very calm and did a PERFECT sit stay.

She managed to achieve a distinction with a score of 77/80. Mainly failing as when she came back with her retrieves she circled me once before sitting. I am extremely proud of her and looking forward to entering the Grade II test very soon.

If you want to find out more on how you can attend the above go to www.thegundogclub.co.uk and good luck!

Beautiful Day at the Park

Anton and I went to the park today. It was absolutely beautiful here in Manchester, so took my camera out as I believe it's going to rain all weekend!

Then Anton decided to climb a tree!

Well congratulations goes to Rachel with Briarlow's Chacha at Fivenineplus. Chacha was handled by Adeline at the SWORDS INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW on Saturday and won the Green Star and BOB qualifying her as a new Irish Champion (a first for her owner and for me as a breeder).

Well done guys and keep up the good work.
