Roo hops into Open Stakes!
Byrbwll Quinlan (Roo) won the Bristol and West Novice Cocker held at the Kemble Estate. The trial was held in game cover and heavy bramble in which Roo excelled and he also came away with the Guns Choice award which is always a prize to treasure. The dogs had to work hard to find game and all credit to the Guns Simon Blackman and Charlie as they made sure flushed birds were turned into retrieves for the dogs and handlers.
Roo has been a consistent trialling dog with a number of awards to his name and to our knowledge this makes him the only roan field trial winner in the country. He is also another home bred Byrbwll cocker and makes him the fifth Open Stake dog in the kennels.
We would like to thank Ade Stride for all her hard work in putting on the trial and the two Judges Alex Badger and Richard Bunyan. It was extra special to have the award presented by Cocker Championship winner Richard Priest.
