First Field Trial Win for Caoimhe
« on: January 05, 2011, 04:36:51 PM »
I just had the best possible start to the New Year as Caoimhe just won the Utility Gundog Society novice field trial in Essex  :banana: :banana: :cool4: :cool4:  To say I'm over the moon would be the understatement of the century!! According to Simon she ran superbly well, there was a run-off for first place between her and a 4 year old bitch run by Robin Laud and she got it and not only that she was Guns' Choice too :shades: :D  and she has also just gained her stud book number. There were a lot of good quality dogs and top handlers there today, from Simon to Robin Laud to Ian Openshaw so the girl has done very, very good :D  I'm not sure what we'll do for the rest of this season now but she'll be running at Open level next season, she only turns 2 years old next week so she has done so well.

She's had a bit of bad luck so far this season and my nerves have been stretched to breaking point at times :lol2: We've known it was just a matter of time before she won though, Simon wouldn't be running her otherwise. She ran really well in her first trial, her second was called off due to lack of game, her third she should have won but she was unlucky at the last minute and the last 2 she'd got a place in were cancelled due to the weather. I was keeping everything crossed that today would go ahead and I am so happy, so proud of her and so grateful to Simon who is an amazing trainer and handler.

I don't have any photos from today but I took these when I went up to see her training a few weeks ago, she's a little superstar and I absolutely adore her :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv:

Fantastic!!!!!! Well done!! I know next to nothing about trialling but by the sounds of it this is a brilliant achievement so WELL DONE!!! And congratulations! :D :D

Emma xxxx

P.s. what does it 'mean' that she has earned her stud book number? i know that when show dogs gain it they are qualified for Crufts for life, so what will it mean for Caoimhe? Sorry to be so numb :embarassed:

Nothing dumb about that question Emma, was wondering the same thing myself  ;) So... what does it mean? :)

FANTASTIC!!!


You must be so proud! (and deservedly so!!)   

IMO Guns Choice is a wonderful thing to win too, a sign of respect for the dogs talents from the Guns!  ;)
