“Oxo” aka Aytee Oceania worked her socks off today with a rare point in foggy conditions at the GSPA Novice Trial in Derbyshire. Huge thanks to the judges for the opportunity of a third run giving her a much needed retrieve, after the pointed woodcock was shot but got hung up in a tree 🙄 - later discovered by the PU dog. Thanks also to the super guns for her award and to the Hosts and FT Sec who with the gallery made it a lovely day. Congratulations too for Pete Bakewell with top dog and Jessica Frost for achieving her SGWC.
Finally thanks to the partridge, snipe, woodcock and hare that nearly outnumbered the pheasants today after their disappearing act in the dismal conditions!
