We are back from the two day trial in Brahe-Trolleborg Castle in Fyn, Denmark.
We had a lovely weekend, and I have to be proud over our 2nd place.
26 dogs entered the trial Saturday morning, and 12 was still in for Sunday. It was a fantastic trial with very nice birds , professionally presented by the head keeper.
The third drive was in a very tuff water, and the dogs really had to prove themselves.Will got three birds in that drive, and made it look very easy. I was pleased with him.
Sunday was our day! We had nice retrieves all day, he handled beautifully, marked well and had a couple of nice runners.At the end no one knew who had won the trial, but I had the feeling we were in the top three.It was a close call between the dogs, and the judges were gone quite a while before they came out with the final ranking.I was in mobile contact with Roger Phillips during the day, and he was a major support as always. Just before the last drive he said; you just stay cool, trust the dog and don't try something fancy!! That was a good advice!
