Riska (Fletchingly Annraidh) missed three working tests at the start of the season because she had a cut knee, so I felt it was a big ask for her to run in the SEGS novice water competition today, as she is not yet 18 months old. She stayed calm and worked well, even when she managed to flush a pheasant on the last retrieve of the day, and I was delighted to be awarded 3rd place.
A good start for this lovely young dog, who is just like her mother Shona, so I’m hoping the pup I will keep from Shona’s current litter will be just as good.
We are so fortunate to compete on ground like Isenhurst, and to have a good team of helpers to make the day run smoothly.
