If I was to act on the basis of what I have read here, and in other places, I wouldn't cross the road to attend or watch a gun dog trial. Ever.
However, I am wise enough to know that forums attract zealots, key board experts, and the mentally unstable. And me.
I'm sure that ordinary non forum people attend and participate in trials, and that they are no doubt in the majority. So I might chance my arm one day and go and watch one.
The VHD testing sounds admirable. I will go to one of those one day too. Their people on here sound slightly more rational than the trialists. Maybe that is because they do not have their own egos to defend, only that of their dogs?
