Haddeo Thesfus Of Fallowfen “Flint” Wins!
The weekend of the 10th of May we traveled down to Ware in Hertfordshire to run Flint, our Golden Retriever Stud, in a Golden Retriever special puppy competition held by Eastern Counties Golden Retriever Club.
It was a record for the Golden Retriever Club as entries hit an all time high. There were three individual working tests to test the working ability of the Goldie’s. The 1st test was to test steadiness of the lead walking to heel with a marked retrieve along side gunfire. The 2nd test was a walk up to heel followed by a double mark. The 3rd and final test was a marked retrieve in water.
I think the hardest test of the day was dealing with the immense heat. At the end of tests the judges gathered to discuss the working ability of the Golden retrievers they had seen, a few minuintes later the results were announced……… 1st place of the Special Puppy Golden Retriever Test goes to number 7, Mr and Mrs Hutchison with Haddeo Thesfus Of Fallowfen “Flint”. We were over joyed and hope his success will continue.
