Congratulations to Sally who was handling Sorrel (Sanjika Spirit of Taz) receiving a grading of 'Good'
In the U.K. as you will notice we tend to have all breeds of HPR competing together both in our Field Trials and Spring Pointing tests. It is the Judges job to ensure each breed is judged according to its own breed style. This as you can imagine can prove difficult as no training is given to Judges and they must learn from experience about the 10 HPR breeds currently authorised to run in trials in this country.
