No, we disagree....

You see some use the axiom quoted above to dismiss why their dog does not excell in trials... that's just a cop out.

A great hunting dog is a great trialling dog... until the trials are changed to suit the trial dog... to date, and from what I have seen, this has not happened in NZ.

But must always be forward in our thoughts.

Mortensons words not mine. I do, however disagree that the trialling line is the shooting line, especially in pointers, as Uplander said.

I'm with Ruff, the day the focus becomes titles and silverware, we're buggered. Our P&S system is a flawed enough yard stick as it is
