Yes Guy you are right
Freddy did win his 4th CAC at the weekend and was beaten by a lovely bitch for BOB who was eventually shortlisted in the group. So now he is a Dutch Champion - need to remember to add that to his F/T entries.

Well done Sahron and Freddy.
I was at an HPR theory training day with Trevor Rigby last week and he was talking about Freddy and saying how he sat to flush beautifully at a recent event, even though he was round a corner and out of sight. He really is a super dog. |

Great news Sharon .. now you need to work on Germany. Only an extra few hours drive from the ferry

Thanks Fiona
Yes he did do that. It was at a new ground and we were showing the guns what the HPR breeds could do. So we were hunting up a hedgerow and he went around the corner and a covey of partridge lifted. So Trevor and I carried on walking up the hedge, round the corner and Freddy was still in the down position - having gone down to the flush as I hadn't even blown the whistle. Then further round this hedge he started to indicate game and a hare literally got up from about 2ft from him and before I could whistle he was in the down position. Really good day although not much shot but all the dogs hunted really well.

Oh I know as I drove to the north of Germany to fetch our Danish bitch - the drive wouldn't bother me but it's the time away from home and the other dogs left with Mum & Dad. Getting away for a day at a show or F/T isn't much of a problem - but three days is a long time

Thanks Kerry
Have you found the "prize" to make your boy a little more enthusiastic yet in the ring? |

Well done Sharon - you must be chuffed to bits. 
|

| weima |
Yes I was & I too am disappointed. I hope Jean can rearrange it & we'll let Alex know. I was sort of a 'hanger on' as I thought as secretary I ought to show my face but Pagan could have come too

Hi Sharon
Great news, and as those before me 'Congratulations!'. So what will be his full name including suffix's, titles and affix's be then? Chilly Vizellven Vizslak www.vizellven.co.uk |

 Great news about Freddy, well done Sharon, does this make him an International Champion 
Peter |
||||
| Bareve |
How did you get on last night Kerry - any better? |
||||
| Bareve |
Thanks Jan, Chilly & Peter
I believe his name will now read Ch/Dutch Ch Freddy vom Kapellenhof at Bareve W'07 (Deu Imp) - we might be able to use W'08 as he was Best Dog but I need to check that suffix. No Peter he isn't an International Champion as he hasn't got his CACIB's in different countries plus the FCI will not recognise his KC Field Trial awards as a record of his working ability. He has to have one of the versatile tests so if they think I'm going to let Freddy take a backward step and re-learn his fanatical tracking on hares they can think again!!! Quite frankly I doubt I shall bother to go any more as the time away from home is quite a long time when I've got dogs at home. Plus some of the so called "judging" leaves a lot to be desired. The topic of conversation at the hotel from the other British exhibitors was just that - Dutch judges putting Dutch dogs up, Scandinavian judges putting Swedish and Danish dogs up - not much better than the claims over here in the UK despite the perception that the judges don't know who the exhibitors are 
In one breed we watched on the first day - Champions class - there was a father and son who were like two peas in the pod and a third dog who was very different in type being bigger and more moderately angulated - result father, other dog and then son - so you had the two similar types at either end of the line rather than together! |

Hi Sharon, we got through to the final 3 so yes i think you can say that there was a bit more animation and i didnt feel like i was dragging him around the hall.Have frozen the rest of the liver truffles for LKA ,ever the optomist .
|
||||
| Bareve |
Excellent Kerry I will be taking the rescue photos to LKA from those people who didn't send an envelope for the return so pls remember to come and pick up your photos. Doubt I will be at the benches for long as we have our trade stand there for the first time so the envelope will be on there.

First of all, congrats! I have to say I don't really see that Dutch judges putting Dutch dogs up, but I haven't been to a lot of shows (thank goodness).
Second, if your dog got BOB or BOS (best of breed of best opposite sex), you do get the Winner title!!!! Congrats again. Third, you don't have to do the HZP or VGP in order to become international champion. My 2 bitches earned the title with field trial qualifications. I do have to say though that the field trials in Holland are far more difficult than the English ones. I haven't seen this myself, but a friend of mine judges both here and on the other side of the pond. Belgium on the other hand and France are less difficult than Holland. On the other hand, if your dog is a good hunter and pointer, he'll be able to get tha qualification of course. It would take some time and a lot of money though for all the travelling and entry fees of course...... |
