Pointing Breeds Field Trials 31 May/1 June 2008

Postby Bruno Pollini » Tue 03 Jun 2008 5:15 pm

The Pointing Breeds Field Trial Club NSW Inc. held its second weekend of trials in the Riverina area on 31 May/1 June. The drought has worsened and it's only due to the efforts of various members travelling many hundreds of kilometres checking possible sites that trials have been able to be held. Conditions on Saturday were hot and dry with very little breeze. The large paddock of native grasses, weeds and some lucerne, held a fair number of stubble quail and many button or red-chested quail which some dogs found difficult to handle. Results were:

Saturday 31 May 2008 - Open Stake - Judge Mr R Goody - Entry 13
1st B&C Pollini's Pointer bitch MONTENERO MALIBRAN
No other placings
Qualifying Certificates: RJ & CP Stott's Pointer bitch CAELLENISH DOTTIE;
J Gilligan's English Setter Dog UPPERWOOD QUAILPOINT (Imp.UK)

Competitors were accommodated in a farm house on a separate 1800 acre property, courtesy of the main property owner, and on Saturday afternoon Ray Goody organised a retrieving training session with about 18 Pointers, English and Gordon Setters participating. A dinner was held at the local golf club that evening with the property owners as guests of the PBFTC Club.

Sunday was cooler with a good breeze, and the judge put the dogs through their paces over three rounds. Results were:

Sunday 1 June 2008 - Open Stake - Judge Mr D Coleman - Entry 16
1st: B&C Pollini's Pointer bitch MONTENERO MALIBRAN (This win, her fourth, gave her the last point needed for her FT Ch. title).
2nd: B&C Pollini's Pointer dog ATSIRA PRODIGAL SON
3rd: R&J Goody's Pointer bitch QUANNAH CALIFORNIA BADJA

Sash for Most Promising Dog Over Weekend: RJ & CP Stott's Pointer bitch CAELLENISH DOTTIE
