12 Dog Novice Field Trial For A/V Retrievers 3rd December 2021

Held at The Stoke Edith Shoot, Stoke Edith Herefordshire by kind permission of Mr. N Clark

The winners with the Judges and Field Trial Secretary Sam Hynd

The Labrador Retriever Club of Wales held their Novice Trial for A/V Retrievers at Stoke Edith, Herefordshire by kind permission of Mr Neil Clark. Thankfully the weather stayed largely dry, and fairly mild considering we’re now in December! 

I would like to thank keeper Mr Josh Gee for all of his hard work in accommodating our sport across both of our Trial days. His team of beaters and pickers-up were very complimentary of the dog work and Mr Clark’s team of Guns shot brilliantly, providing us with a plentiful supply of birds with which to finish the Trial.

My thanks also to The Committee of The Lady Emily Hall in Tarrington for allowing us to use their facilities. And to our Club’s Committee for their help behind the scenes and on the day. I was very inspired to see youngsters offering their help at our Trials, and thrilled to see them enjoy it so much. Our gratitude is also given to our generous sponsor Skinner’s, supplying us with award certificates and vouchers.

Finally, we can’t forget our Judges, as I suppose they have a somewhat important role to play in the Trial. It was a genuine pleasure to watch you all, and I very much hope you enjoyed your day. 

Mr R Tozer, Mr M Gould, Mr N Probert & Miss E Davis awarded the following placings:

1st place and winner of The Warringah Trophy was Kaliture Burdock handled by Julian Price

2nd place was Burrendalde Abbey handled by Tony O’Hare

3rd place was Buffskin Edward at Kestrelway handled by Mr Norman Onens

4th place was Millerise Jemima handled by Janice Miller 

Congratulations to all in the awards. I hope everyone enjoyed our Trials and best of luck for the remainder of the season.

Sam Hynd, Field Trial Secretary
