We have just had 2 great days Field Trialling on one of the most challenging shooting estates in the UK. Game Finding, Marking & Control are essential elements of a great Retriever, if a dog has any weakness this ground will expose it. Any Dog completing a trial at Emblehope and Burngrange is very much a great dog.
