Lloyd90 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Some recent updates / big events! So far this season we have run in our first ever, second and third trials. We managed to get a COM in our first trial and I was absolutely over the moon to just finish. In our second we didn’t place despite having the best run I’ve ever seen Ted have through hard bramble on his first run, sadly handler error let us down on the second run and we didn’t award, but still managed to finish the trial without being put out. Well today (or yesterday by now) we ran up near Mid Wales again. Where we not only managed to finish the trial, but also walk away winning first place and also a bonus of the guns choice award. Absolutely over the moon, a hell of a lot of work and effort gone into getting there, and what a feeling it is to achieve it. I was absolutely chuffed to finish 3/3 trials in my first season but to walk away today I was on cloud 9! It was especially good to hear that the standard was very high and the judges thought the dogs would excel in open trials! I will have to see if we can get a run in an open before the season is over!

Jim Neal Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 That's awesome mate! 👍 Having desperately clung on the reins of springers for quite some years myself, you have my utmost respect for getting yourself and your dog up to that sort of standard. I'm just happy if mine don't disappear over the horizon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Excellent work Lloyd. I’ve known many struggle for years to get to where you are. Brilliant result for you and the dog, also your chronicles on PW serve as a great resource for those looking to climb the ladder. Hats off 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted December 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Thank you all for your kind words. When I finally get five minutes off I’ll sit down and write out the events of the 3 trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 A just reward for the work and dedication needed to bring a dog up to that standard , the dog can be brilliant but the owner still need to be at the top of his game to bring out the best and this can only be achieved by hard work and willpower . MANY THANKS for posting and keeping us up to date , looking forward to the oncoming reports on how the trials went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Missed this, very well done, I think you'll find it's hard to top that, even if you go on to win in open trials, you'll never forget that result with your first dog 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
