Young cocker spaniel “Ash” (Endowood Cutthorpe of Buccleuch) ran in his first trial on Saturday in the Tyne Tees and Tweed Field Trial Association, Novice Cocker Spaniel Trial held at Steen, by kind permission of Lord Vestey.

Judges were Mr John Holloway and Mr Steve Windspear with Steward of the Beat Mr Ian Openshaw.

We are delighted to say Ash and David were lucky enough to be awarded first place. Second was Ardcaein Fall of Delphaven handled by Mr Steve Brewer with third Poolgreen Charm handled by Mr Will Clulee.

Ash and David are now qualified to compete in Open Trials where we hope the good luck continues.
