Did anyone notice that Fiona was awarded 4th with Harkon in a field trial earlier this month? It was at the GSPC Novice FT at Launton on 14th. Chris McD told me.

I can't really say that I know Fiona but enjoyed and appreciated her session at the club training day this summer. She came across as a really nice and helpful person. I'm pleased to hear of this result for her and Harkon. Hope we hear some good news on Monday.

How does a dog a dog become a Ft Champion btw?

To become a FT CH a dog has to win a 1st in 'novice'. This qualifies the dog to run in 'open'. Two 1st place awards in Open = FT CH.

So 3 CC in the show ring and 2 1sts at Open Ft == Dual Champion.

Maybe Ghill could get her head around that [not sure about me though]
Well done Fiona Very Happy

One more CC and he's a Full Champion

- 3 CCs plus a FT award or a SHGWC = Full Champion

like Ghill did.

I suspect I know the answer to this.

Is there a way of making a Ft Ch up to Ch by achieving a show qualification of some sort other than 3 CCs ( which I appreciate would make it a Dual Champion as stated earlier)?
