Hi Susie,

Great to see some field trials up and running. Was this trial held on Water hens or real game???

Congratulations Suzie on your NFD with Geordie, I know how hard youve worked for it. Mal, at last !!! we ferals in states where field trials (that score Championship points)arn't held applaud the tremendous effort and kilometres you've put in to get Nicks Ft Ch title. Well done mate

[Susie Partridge]

not counting feral cats....
now Gareth just ask Steve Austin how hard those 'birds' are to hit!
Both rabbits and hens were found - I believe the rabbit may have become Billy Hepburn's new retrieving dummy for his pup and the hens are currently being turned into salami but not 100% sure on that.
cheers

thanks Allan, as you know I started putting Geordie in just to make up the numbers a couple of years ago. (I am not a shooter, and I thank all of those who have shot for me in the trials). I have kept going with him because he loves it!
cheers Susie

Congratulations Susie that is great. Also good to see that in Tasmania you are allowed to have someone shoot for you!
