Harley ran in all of the International events over the summer on the English Retriever Team - the last two of which were the Scottish Gamefair at Scone Palace in Perth and the English Gamefair held this year at Blenheim Palace.
With some younger dogs in the team, we faced a little bad luck with circumstances and inexperience at the highest level. As is with these events the pressure is fantastic and makes for very exciting runs against other Home Nation level competitors.
It’s been another fantastic summer of learning from the elite handlers we’ve spent time with. Harley was super consistent again, completing every test well and even being the highest scoring English dog at Scone Palace.
I am hugely grateful for the opportunity to be on the team with such handlers. Names like Jane Coley, Annette Clarke, Steve Richardson, David Latham (captain), Phil Dyson, Tucker Munday and Laura Hill are something else to be around.
Biggest thanks must go to my home team - Harley - Trevear Constantine of Mearecastle - my children and ever supportive wife Melanie. Couldn’t do it without you!
Skinners were superb as usual in sponsoring the team throughout the year.
Now onto the game season and a trial or two…
