WGAA Pointer & Setter Field Trial Update 2011

Across four States, Western Australia, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria a total of 16 WGAA trials (4 closed season and 12 shooting) have been conducted in 2011. This record number is a reflection of the bumper season that followed heavy summer rains in the Eastern States, a season that had many game bird hunters saying that this was the best season in living memory. Both ducks and quail were abundant – almost excessively so from the point of view of the field trialler, but no one was complaining.
The premier event for WGAA, the Pointer & Setter National, was won convincingly by Ferrante Alvarez De Toledo’s English Setter bitch RUNANSET LUXURY LINER. This dog produced superb performances in both the National and the John Nash Memorial held on the next day.

Results for the Western Australian trials held on the 30 & 31 July and the forthcoming NSW National (CS) trial weekend (13 & 14 August) will be posted when available.
