Since then I have won over sixty field trials and made up 6 Field Trial Champions. The first being a black bitch FTCh Hamford Dixie of Brindlebay then followed by her daughter a yellow bitch FTCh Brindlebay Maize. Next came FTCh Bringwood Bobby of Brindlebay who of course won the much coveted I.G.L championship. Following Bobby's success I bred Brindlebay Jude who gained his FTCh status after winn
ing six trials. In 2007 my black bitch Mansengreen Bizzy of Brindlebay became a field trial champion, she won 9 trials in all. I am currently competing with her son Brindlebay Butler who is now a field trial champion. I am an A panel Kennel Club judge for retrievers judging in the UK and abroad, having now judged in 9 different countries including the prestigious Coup d'Europe, the Belgium retriever championship and the International Working Test 3 times. In 2004 I judged the CLA International Working Test at Blenhiem Palace. In 2008 I was a member of the winning team in the UK Euro Challenge Working Test held at Blenheim Palace running my black dog FTCh Brindlebay Butler. Sara Gadd and I run a joint kennel in Suffolk. My name is Sara Gadd, I suppose you could say that I am a dog lover...all of them. Some I would not choose to own but I find them all fascinating , particularly the working breeds. I started competing with dogs in 1995 and registered Birdsgreen Gundogs in 1996. I have made up 2 Field Trial Champions (Mansengreen Diesel of Birdsgreen) and Brindlebay Gertie of Birdsgreen. I also bred one ( a Golden Retreiver/ Birdsgreen Sweet Reward of Castlemans)
I am a Kennel Club "A" panel judge, regularly judging field trials and working tests in the UK and Abroad. At the moment I am competing with 2 of my own dogs, Field Trial Champion Brindlebay Gertie of Birdsgreen and Brindlebay Griffon. In 2008 I was in the winning team at the Aigle Euro Challenge at Blenhiem running Diesel this was great fun and very exciting. I am presently living on the Suffolk / Norfolk border where Mike Tallamy and I run a joint Kennel. My children have grown up, so a lot of my time is devoted to training and competing with my lovely dogs.
