Funtime Franky Boy wins Strathmore Novice A/V Spaniel Trial
Hi Ceri,
Just a short note to say thanks for sponsoring the Strathmore Working Gundog Club's spring novice A/V Spaniel trial at Airlie Estate, Angus on 28th March '09.
It was a cold cold day,with a wind that would cut you in half. Add some snow and hail showers and you start to get the picture.
Not perfect for a Rabbit trial! But we got going,and when you were on the move, things didn't seem so bad, especially as we got into some game pretty quickly.
As the day went on, every dog was getting finds and retrieves, with very little escaping the guns.
At the end of the trial, two dogs shone through, both handling the very difficult conditions extremely well - John Gibson's two year old dog Funtime Franky Boy and Spence Waddell's Gartshore Robb of Garebrig, also two years old.
As the judges, myself and Wendy Openshaw, pondered the results over a welcome cuppa, it was decided to give the win to Funtime Franky Boy for being just a little tidier in his work.
I've attached a photo of a delighted John Gibson.
Once again, thanks for your support.
Bill.

Truffle has 9 little Champs!
"Truffle has been fed solely on Champ throughout her pregnancy and like my other whippets had the occasional meal of tripe & chicken wings.
As you can see she had a wonderful litter of 9 healthy puppies and she is in fantastic condition. The puppies are about to be weaned onto soaked Little Champ in about 3 weeks"
