Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla Association Working Test

September saw the last of our working tests for this year the hosts being the HWVA. We all ran in Novice under judges Mr Geoff Saint and Mr Stephen Robson, Gary with Winnie, Ian with Louie and I ran Coco but sadly on this occasion, Gail and Isla couldn't join us. This was a great event last year and just as enjoyable this year... well organised and friendly and lots of fun.
Gary and Winnie had a good day coming 6th with Ian and Louie in hot pursuit in 7th place. Unfortunately despite gaining a respectable score (actually beating both her mum and brother) Coco was not placed as she failed a test by running in on the retrieve on the hunt.
All in all it's been a good year on the working front, we have enjoyed training with Chris and Peter Guest (Bardantop Gundogs) and have finished knowing exactly what we all have to improve on in time for the working tests next year. Hopefully autumn and winter training and maybe the odd appearance on the local shoot may help.
