I have always kept dogs suitable for work and pet - if they showed too then that was fine but it wasn't what I insisted on !
The "suitable for work ,show or pet " ads have always annoyed me - I always felt that whoever had the pups for sale was probably a bit of a chancer !
If you are in a competition ,think about the film "Highlander" and its saying, " There can be only one !"
That is not the case in a Spring Pointing Test but it sure is in a trial !

II.M.O. the bitching doesn't really happen too much except perhaps between kennels who are trying to make names for themselves.

Now "aint that the truth"
I've always found the F/T people very supportive at a trial as we all know what it's like to be up there doing it. But if you did find yourself successful then be careful of the "green eyed monsters" in your breed who will not like it and come up with their own version of the day to attempt to discredit your dog's wins _________________ Sharon Pinkerton

I hope to meet Peter and Wilson again at the Open pointer/setter trial at Amulree in a couple of weeks time. I'll give them your regards.

Please give Peter my regards Bill, go out with pointers still with peregrines , bitches out of Dave Amsden's breeding. This breed still has a place in my heart .Would love to know what happens on the BIS SP day.
Went up to Moray in August, 3 months after a new knee. Frustrating, you can't use a zimmer on a moor Seem to be going off thread here oops!
You are forgiven I do that all the time ! ........And the older I get the more I do it !!!
I have written a brief account of todays grouse test in Bucks Diary.
I hasten to add that this is the way I saw things and the way I felt about things. Others may feel differently - - - but I'll still be right !
It was one of those days that I will always remember - a pleasure to be out there, a pleasure to try to do that kind of thing again after about a 16 years absence and a pleasure to meet some really nice new people and a few "old" friends too after so many years.
To anyone on this forum who has not worked a grouse moor - get out there and do it ! There is nothing quite like it in this world - - - - even on a howler of a day in mid-March !!!
