The minute you decide to demonstrate a dog you are letting yourself in for a hiding. It doesn’t matter if it is a competition, a sale’s pitch or just to show how well you are getting on, the minute you stick your head above the parapet you risk getting it blown off. I therefore was slightly nervous demonstrating Jalad to his prospective new owner but you know what, he did exactly what I wanted. He was beautifully flat, without any effort on my part. He covered all the ground available and was easy to turn. I made a point of dropping him a couple of times, just to show it could be done and I also turned him and sent him back out just to show he would do it. A snipe even joined in and provided an opportunity to show him on point. He took the bird well, stood till I got to him and then roaded straight in to produce his bird. The net result is that he’s on his way to Co Meath. Sad in a way to see him go but delighted with who has bought him and the sort of life he’s going to.
So now there are six……………………and one of these has to go.
