Thanks everyone, she's such an exceptional, amazing little dog. She's always been a joy to work with and Simon thinks very highly of her too :luv:

O well done to you both!  Bet you are bursting with pride......it's so hard to trial, she must be one special girl.........not many make the grade.............go Caoimhe! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Is it ever, if I'd known what it would take I might never have taken her to be assessed in the first place :lol2:  I am incredibly proud of her, she's very special :D

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:

Well she's now qualified for the Gamekeeper's Ring at Crufts for life I think :lol2:  Basically it means that she'll now be listed in the KC Stud Book that's published every year and it's a nice honour to have.

Here's hoping ;)  Next season though, she's going to be getting a very well deserved rest now, she's worked so hard this season and she deserves a break!

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



Absolutely, that was the icing on the cake, I was really chuffed that she got GC as well, it's a real honour imo :D  There were a lot of good dogs there today too, I think there were 10 awards given which gives an idea of the quality that she won over.

Her first run she hunted like a demon, flushed a cock bird, stopped dead, marked it perfectly and ran out and brought it back in one cast. Hunted on and she flushed again in some long white grass, bird was shot into white grass out of sight, Simon cast her off and the dog on the left started to run in, it's handler was yelling at it to get back but it ignored her, as it went to run into the white grass Caoimhe came running out of it with the bird :shades:  Second run she hunted through heavy bramble cover, there was no game but she hunted it well. Hunted on into woodland she flushed a cock bird out of nowhere, it flew out and was shot over heavy plough, again she went out and picked it straight away in one cast and straight back. They called a run off between her and the other bitch but (according to Simon) Caoimhe just shone, she flushed and stopped for a pair of pigeons and a partridge that the other dog didn't even see and they called it in her favour before long.

I also know almost nothing about trialling and so it was great to read your description of her success, it helped me understand what happens and brought it all to life :D
