What sort of hunter are YOU spot lighting deer - thought that was illegal??? What happened to identifing your target and landing zone of the bullet - pretty hard when there's no background!!!!!

Can someone enlighten me on what is required to set up a syndicate shoot ?
I believe that some preserves offer a shoot where you can shoot over your own dog (last price I heard quoted was $500.00 a...

If you guys are really serious about live game trials in the South Island, there is a great opportunity in October this year.

The beginning of October the North Otago Gundog are running their...

You are assuming I only hunt for a few short months a year. I never said I don't hunt fur, what I did say pointer and setter trials are run on birds, and fur on a pointer and setter are a problem.

Fact: Pointer and Setters are run on birds anywhere in the world - if you want to run trials on rabbits get a spaniel or form a club, put a set of rules together and go and run your continentals on...

In fact when Bendigo were releasing pheasants a strong NI contingent did come down. The verdict: impossible to run a game trials too many rabbits. Yes there were plenty of quail and pheasants in the...

The original post said the "first Breton to get any field recognition in NZ".
The Wyngold dog is pure Epagneul Breton bred bloodlines imported from the USA.

There are no Pointer live game trials...

Sorry mate, you are slightly wrong there - an EB import won a championship P&S in the South island last September. He is the first in NZ.

There is a Brittany in the dog pound in Dunedin at present - is it yours?

Before you make assumptions about what breed will or wont work deer talk to someone in the deer stalkers association - either NZ or Oz.

Over here, there are brittany successfully working deer.

I suggest reading "Planned Breeding" by Lloyd C. Brackett.
An award winning article on the differences between linebreeding and inbreeding.

Have a look on Trademe website.
A Brittany litter is for sale at present - sire black & white and dam orange & white.
I think there are just dog pups left to sell now.

Neat video of the bitch...

Exactly !;)

Have a look at the NZGTA Jubilee catalogues - they record the winners of all the majors (NZ, NI and SI champs) over the years.
Plenty of Versatiles have done OK.

Dont forget the two championship Pointer & Setter trials being run in conjunction with the North Island Champs.

SPOT ON !! :):)

The reason the P&S QC trials are popular is because the P&S NG trialists and the "pigeon" trialists can all come together to compete on an equal basis for a qualification.

It is widely accepted...

Wirehunt,
The problem is the P&S class in NZ lumps together all the HPR breeds plus the Pointer, and setters (Irish, English, Gordon etc).
When our NZ trials were invented the HPR breeds were not...

Ask the NZGTA. The original concepts back in the 1930's were based upon UK trials.
The P&S class has remained the same until NG trials in the North were introduced.
A thorough review of how we do...

Biggest problem is Rabbits.

Its been tried once or twice in the past and was a disaster.

Thanks El B.

Interesting to read comments about P&S NG Trials - pity they are not run down South here - the NZGTA go a bit deaf on any suggestions to help the P&S
class advance and develop down...

For those interested, the trials are being run on private land.All spectators are welcome.
