Today I attended the wire haired vizsla field trial. So very grateful for all concerned who ran the event who accepted me on their trial
To give challenge certificates at dog shows you have to of attended a field trial to widen the knowledge of the breeds so that we appreciate the other side to owning these wonderful breeds of dogs. A working dog. With some breeds like Labrador, Spaniel there is a definite split in the breed in looks and capabilities. But in the HRP breed you get the working dog in all of them. Some have that natural aptitude to do it, and some no. But as a whole in every litter youll get a hunting pointing and retrieving breed. This makes them difficult for a lot of pet owners to own. But if you train them at obedience or gun dog classes you will have the best dog in the world. It's down to you to put the work in. I have always wanted to train one of my dogs to do a field trial and I should of done it when I was in my 20's but I had children and they were full on as I had an autistic child who took all of my time to look after. High functioning but still wouldn't have coped with anyone else looking after her. She is the apple of my eye of course. But I am proud looking back that I raised a very intelligent young lady. But my time I couldn't do working with the dogs. But I would have loved to of done. Now Im actually considering going to gun dog training with my new pup. Even if we do terrible it would be lovely to put one in a working test, or field trial. The only thing that would let me down is my illness. But I shall see how I go. It's either this or training for man trailing with my bracco. I am thinking seriously of new adventures over showing. So watch this space where it could all change. R xx
