    Sounds cool EeeBees. This thread is really interesting to me. I'd love to see some dogs work, I'll have to visit one of the north island dog enthusiasts to watch the real deal one day!

    Dougie the North Island Trial Champs are being held in Hawkes Bay this year October 13-14...what happens is that the SI Champs are held, then the NIs then the NZs 20 -21st October at Atiamuri. As the NZs are hosted in respective islands alternatively, if the NZs are in the South Island, then the NIs are held first, then the SIs along with the NZs. These champs include the Pointer and Setter (of which the HPRs as in Germans Wire Hairs, Vizsla, German Shorthairs, Weimeraner, etc, are included), then there are the Spaniels, then the Retrievers as in Labradors, Chessapeakes, Golden Retrievers, Flat coat Retrievers etc. If anyone was thinking of getting a gundog breed these events do provide a good opportunity to see how the breeds work etc.
    ...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...

    Just my luck, I'll be off playing toy soldiers during that time I think. I might be able to catch the last day.

    My thoughts exactly about thinking about a working dog - hubby likes Vizslas. I have one in a puppy class, holy crap that dog is on speed or something. She is a wimp but tries to compensate for it by being dog and people aggressive. Her owners purchased her from a photo....oh dear. Anyway I digress.

    Have you heard of a Newfoundland Retriever or something like that? The main trainer at my club has three, they are small like a Brittney size, very very soft coat (not a double coat I don't think), and her three are all a lovely peach and white colour similar to a red collie. Are these used much for work?
