FTAW Nossewej Javert ....

Tracey entered the Eastern Counties Spaniel Society All Aged AV FT on Tuesday 9 January 2024 held at Shotesham St Mary, Norfolk with Gavin aka Nossewej Javert.   The judges on the day were Alex Hayes and Steve Lewis.


His first run was started at the bottom of a dip and was a little stop/start as dogs were changed and the other side wheeled around.  They hunted up the bank on leaf mulch with Gavin under control.  At the top of the bank they reached thick bramble with rides cut through.  A bird shot for the other side landed close to Gavin, flapping, but he held his position while the other dog retrieved.  Hunting on, the dog on the other side had an AWOL moment, so he was held up again.  Gavin was hitting the bramble hard, a loose bird was shot and Tracey told to send Gavin on the retrieve.  He  headed straight into the bramble, flushing another two birds.  He stopped lovely to the flush, before continuing on the retrieve.  He made it to the fall of the bird, then took a line.  The cock bird then ran across a ride back into thick bramble followed closely by Gavin.  He tracked the bird and retrieved to hand.  Hunted on to finish the patch of bramble; first run completed.


His second run was in a fairly bare patch wood with a nice hedge to the right hand side flanked by a field.  He had a fairly quick flush fromthe hedge which the gun shot out on the field.  Sent immediately for the retrieve, he brought back nicely to h and.  hunted on a very short while, another flush and once again shot out on the field.  Sent again, and a straightforward retrieve.  Second run completed.


He was awarded 3rd place behind an Open winning cocker.


His future continues to look bright
