    I would have just recalled her and hunted her on if the stop is not there 100%, no good stopping her after the chase, will confuse her once you start insisting on steadiness, a joy to watch mind.

    i was surprised she didnt stop as she is getting very good on the whistle --better than the older dog ! amazingly compliant pup in general but needs to find her nose over her speed but that will come with practice--she is a joy to watch and she goes hard

    If you don't already know you may be interested to learn that Gerald's bitch puppy F.T.Ch. Gortinreagh Eppie won the Kennel Club's Derby Stake on Bollihope Moor recently. It may be a unique achievement in that not that many dogs are Champions well before their second birthday and fewer still win the Derby.

    very exciting for Gerald making such a young bitch up for sure Des! When I teach my young bitch to retrieve i am looking forward to competing with FAILTE as she is showing great potential

    Well done guys, i like reading this stuff as it will never (never?) happen for me unless i retire to the mainland with time to do it!!!!!! which presently is not on the horizon....
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!
