After cancelling 4 trials because of lack of game, the
Working Gundog’s Victorian Branch was fortunate to be able to conduct its Year of the Hunter trial in the same
paddock that hosted the Anzac Day event.
Nine dogs presented to the judge Kathy Oliver on what was a
mild day with a light north easterly wind. Birds were quite plentiful during
the first round, but in what seemed to be a characteristic of this particular
paddock they suddenly became scarce in the second round. However, a change of
location resulted in a few more birds being found and once again this season
Henry & Lyn Foster’s Pointer dog F Ch & FT Ch Rip Rap Marksman (Riley) showed how it was done with a top
find to finish off what had been a strong performance throughout the day
Runner up was Denis & Anne Everard’s Irish Setter Russetray Rockford who ran a consistent
race and clinched the place with a find late in the day. Rockford also bagged
the Best Novice dog award.
Michael Zandona’s pointer bitch Duwellyn of Dawndale (Imp NZ) was awarded her Working
Gundog certificate.
