jessdale 416 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I can only apologise for the misleading post i made to start this thread. It was NOT openshaws 99th champion at all it was only his 98th!. Please forgive my inaccurate description. Today he has made up his 99th champion by winning for the second time in 4 days with Hollydrive Kurt to make the dog a International FTCH. Quote Link to post

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 The field trailing game is corrupt if you face fits and your in the click you win. Not to say oppenshaw is not a great trainer having seen him many times. But that game is a licence to print money for some !!!! 2 Quote Link to post

jessdale 416 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Usually the people that say it is corrupt are the people that cannot train a dog to the standard required to win a trial. Edited October 24, 2013 by jessdale Quote Link to post

Yeh and they people who make that statement are usually the one's trying to get in the click. , seen many trials ovet the years seen many many true trial winners seen as many get the nod above the real winner just to get made up. Your right though never trained a gundog in my life but then again never had too. Lol. Quote Link to post
buggsbunny 4 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Usually the people that say it is corrupt are the people that cannot train a dog to the standard required to win a trial.. I was talking to a chap just the other day I was told of him winning the cocker championships back in the nintys so I seen a few pics on his wall of him with a cocker so I asked was it [BANNED TEXT] did you win the cocker championships? He replied yes! I won it with a bitch. So I asked why ain't you still trailing? He went on to tell me he made up another dog but he was struggling to get runs getting put out for the dog squeaking! Then he was hard mouthed and basically the dog hadn't done any wrong it was just the click!!! Driving a genuine dog man out so Jess that made my mind up about the so called curruption in the field trial world please excuse some of the spelling!!!!! Quote Link to post
