Blenweim Sweet Lady of Bastillian (Bitch)
Owner/Handler: Nigel Wroe (WA Member)
Winner 2009 of the following WA Awards:
Ragstone Salver
Fox Holland Cup
Aschfahl Trophy
I was very pleased to collect no less than 3 awards for Misty’s endeavours, principally for field work during 2009. This was our “breakthrough” year in the field, after narrowly missing out on a Field Trial Award in January 2009. Misty picked up a grading of “Good” as a Junior at a Spring Pointing test on Danby Moor, held in March 2009 by the Hungarian Vizsla Association.
The summer of 2009 was occupied by Gundog Working Tests, and after bubbling just outside the places for most of the summer, Misty won a First Place in Novice at the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer GWT in September, closely followed by a second place in a Graduate GWT held by the GSPC at Laverstoke.
The Field Trial Season got under way and it was only a matter of weeks later, in October when Misty secured her first Field Trial Award at Titsey in Kent, earning a third place in Novice at a trial hosted by the Large Munsterlander Club.
With a number of successes in showing during the course of 2009, coupled with her Field Awards, Misty was able to secure the coveted Ragstone Salver to cap a very satisfying first year in the field.
I have been delighted with Misty’s progress which got under way in earnest after winning a first place in a Special Beginners test of work at 13 months of age in 2008.
The current year has started well with a grading of Very Good in Adult in a SPT and several places in Open GWT’s this summer.
