Clashing
with Father’s Day whittled down our numbers somewhat but the stalwarts that
turned up did WGAA proud. The usual protagonists that competed certainly had
their work cut out for them – the weather conditions were a tad difficult – a freezing
wind that was unrelenting all day.
The
competitors were Joe and Steve with their GSPs, Barry and his 2 pointers, Wayne
and Eric with their Brittanys and Richard with his Wei cross.
The judges
were Kathy Oliver & Kevin Phelps, Sam put the birds out on his ATV and
Shane took the pics.
It was great
to see such a large turnout of supporters including the Beesley’s who were up
for the day from deep in deer country at Jamieson.
We are still
fine tuning this new trial format but we are improving with each trial. The
standout dogs on the day were Steve’s GSP Meg, Barry’s pointer Kio and Wayne’s Brittany
Boss. However, the poor shooting became too much for the judge and after a long
(really long) heat between Meg and Kio a ‘no result’ was declared.
