Harkon (Dag of Skinfaxi) and Fiona WDid 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

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)?

I agree with Eddie's comments on Fiona. I've trained under her a couple of times now and like the way she works dogs. I know we all have our own ways of training and some will like Fiona's approach while others will not. Personally I like to train with as many different people as I can, allowing me to collect a whole range of different ways of training, in the hope that one of them will workwith a particular dog where others have failed.
Anyway congrats to Fiona and Harkon, hope you get the next CC soon.

Nope, but it's about high time there was!

Slight bias in favour of the show side of things then!

Not really - slight superiority complex on the working side more like

Just to say I dropped a printed copy of this thread and the Show thread to Fiona this morning on the way to work and she was really chuffed to receive your congratulations, it was also good to catch up with her myself after the May training day.
She send her thanks to you all
