Ihre Einladung zum Richten dieses Working Tests ist mir eine Freude und ein Konflikt zugleich, denn das, was ich an der Retrieverarbeit am meisten liebe, ist gutes Training und sportlicher Wettkampf, an dem ich am liebsten selbst teilnehme!
Seit 1998 bin ich erfolgreich auf Working Tests, Field Trials und den klassischen JGHV-Prüfungen unterwegs, zuerst mit meinen Chesapeake Bay Retrievern, ab 2005 dann auch mit Goldens und ab 2006 mit meinem Labrador.
Auf diesem Weg konnte ich mir einiges an Routine und Wissen aneignen, gab dieses auch immer gerne weiter, und stellte mich schließlich 2007 als Leistungsrichterin des DRC zur Verfügung. 2009 begann ich meine Ausbildung zur Verbandsrichterin. Mein Hobby und meine ganze Freude in der Freizeit ist es aber immer noch, zusammen mit Freunden zu trainieren, eine gute Zeit mit unseren Hunden zu verbringen und den Trainingserfolg auf Working Tests oder anderen Trials abzufragen.
Daher beneide ich Sie ein wenig um die Möglichkeit, beim „Munich Cup“ zu starten und werde umso mehr mein Bestes dazu beitragen, eine lohnende Prüfung für Sie zu gestalten.

I am Head Keeper on Cawdor Estates near Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands. My job includes grouse, partridge and pheasant shooting, plus salmon fishing on the rivers of Findhorn and Nairn.
I started training dogs in 1980 and won my first trial in 1983. I have made up two Field Trial champions: Cornochway Daniel with which I won the Scottsih Premier Stake in 1988, and fourth and Award of Honour at the Championship at Ampton the same year. My next dog, Tasco Broomtip of Carnochway, won a Certificate of Merit at the Championship at Windsor in 1994, also that season winning the Routledge Rank Perpetual Challenge Cup and the Towerbird Trophy. I have also won the CLA Gundog International on two occasions. In 1987, with my brother Brian, I started the Moray Firth Spaniel and Retriever Training Club.
I have judged the British Retriever Championships three times, the Pannonia Cup 2010 and I look forward to judging such an exciting event like the Munich-Cup!

I was born and brought up in Thurso, the most northerly town of Scotland. My childhood was spent in a fishing and shooting environment. The family always had dogs consisting of various breeds, Spaniels, Labs, Terriers, Long Dogs and sometimes a combination of them all.
In my late teens I moved south to Inverness and for a long time I worked in the Oil industry. During this period I trained with H.P.R. and commenced competing in 1985 at which time I was relatively successful. This fuelled my enthusiasm for gundogs and after getting involved in Moray Firth Gundog Club, I started training and competing with Labradors. For several years I took part in many gundog tests and trials. I have run for my country at various events with some success. A number of my dogs have become Field Trial winners and two were made up to Field Trial Champion Level. I received the accolade of being second at the British Retriever Championship in 2006, in the same year I was honoured with the Top Dog at the Skinners World Cup Retriever International at Highclere Castle 2006 - 2007. I have also been an A Panel Judge for retrievers for a while.
Fortunately my job allows me to spend adequate time with my gundogs. This is a hobby which I really enjoy and I look forward to continuing the success which I have gained meeting and developing relationships with people worldwide who share a common bond.
I am pleased to have been asked to judge the Munich-Cup and I look forward to a weekend of good gundog work.

I have been involved in dogs since 1959 when I acquired my first yellow labrador dog, which was used for both shooting and competing in working trials.
I joined the Police Service in 1961 and served for 32 years. For 12 of those years I was involved in the training of dogs for Police work, which latterly included the detection of narcotics and explosives. On moving on in my Police career, I went back to gundogs and competed in field trials and working tests with both spaniels and labradors.
I represented Scotland as a member of the International Gundog Team on numerous occasions and remained involved with the Scottish Team for several years.
I am a GB A Panel Judge for Retrievers and Spaniels. I am looking forward to judging the Munich-Cup in Germany!

He has been a fire officer for 27 years. At present Tom is Head Gamekeeper on Gleneagles Estate, Scotland, whom we see in several field trial champion dogs’ pedigree today, was also an outstanding dog, she has become 2. on the IGL Championship in 1998.
He has qualified for the British Retriever Championship in 2005.
In the same year he has been asked to judge the Championship, he found it an honour to judge the IGL, so he did not run Aimee.
Tom has competed in many international events, and has already judged in several countries of Europe.
He will be honored to judge the International Working Test in Hungary and is looking very much forward to the 4. Munich-Cup 2011.
