Field Trial D/B 1

1st Heard’s Dunroon Brandy – Well, this chap really enjoyed his day out; he gave his handler a hard time, but once settled, was a joy to go over, yes a different type to the show dogs, but you could still tell he was an Irish Setter, with a nice head and expression, good neck going into good construction at the front, nice depth to chest, plenty of heart and lung room, good topline, nice turn of stifle and well developed second thigh, and you could really see that this dog would really enjoy his full day working out in the field.
