International Championship Field Trial September 4th 2010 The first Field Trial was organised by the Epagneul Breton Club in Nieuwvliet. Omi and Milano were entered and run under the judges Gert-Jan Scheffer and Willem ten Brinke. Milano started as the 3rd dog after the Epagneul Breton Bruno Rosse de l'Adour of Ad Baijens, who made a point on Pheasants. Milano started well, but was unable to find game.  On Omi's we had more luck, she made a lovely point on a covey of partridge and was 100% steady on the shot. She finished her run without any mistakes. The retreive afterwords was in order and she was qualified with a second Very Good.

Young Dog Field Trial October 11th 2010

This Young Dog Field Trial was organised by the Dutch GSP Club in our home fields at Roswinkel and Stadskanaal. The terrains were stunning with plenty of wild birds. This day I ran our young promise Isabella van Ryckevelde, daughter of Milano and Malomkozi Sjelsa. Isabelle had to start in the sugarbiet field, but i let her go on the stubble field before the sugarbiet field. She started with a very high intensity and went towards the sugarbiet where she came on point on a pack of pheasants. She was steady to the shot and we could finish the run on a field of rape. She totally took that field apart, hunting with a stunning GSP style and ground control. At the end of the day she was qualified with a 1st Excellent!

Since the Trial Season in The Netherlands is over now, we will continue in Belgium!
