Rest in Peace my Big Lad.
Thanks for everything you gave me, you were an absolute diamond and left memories to last a lifetime. Flint was a strong, loyal dog with excellent drive and a lovely nature,
with looks and proportions of his sire Bob. Winning out of Novice tests in his very first run (March 2015); on his 3rd, won his first Open test. In his first Novice trial at Lincs. Gundogs 2015, he produced a stunning performance and was placed 2nd and Guns Choice. He was tremendous when representing England at the CLA Game Fair in July 2016 where he was top scoring England Retriever, helping England win the Team title. In October 2016 he won the Northumberland and Durham LRC Two Day Open Trial with a superb run over the two days. This qualified Flint for the 2016 I.G.L. where he worked tirelessly; and despite reaching the final 10 dogs (from 54), unfortunately he did not feature in the awards. I was very proud of him! Flint started 2017 exceptionally well achieving selection to every England Team in 2017. He was also top scoring dog of the selection event and top scoring England Retriever at the Skinner's World Cup in May 2017 and also at the Scottish Game Fair International which England won overall. Flint was also selected by the Kennel Club, as the one 'England' retriever to represent Team GB at the International Retriever event, Chatsworth House June 2017. In his first trial of the 2017 season, Flint worked tirelessly to win the Kennel Club Open Retriever Trial at Bolton Abbey making Flint, like his father, a FIELD TRIAL CHAMPION and qualifying for the 2017 IGL where he worked hard over the three days but did not feature in the final awards. continued below/.... |
2018 started well for Flint, having achieved selection to the England Retriever Team once again. I was honoured to represent England at the Skinner's World Cup where Flint was Top Scoring England Retriever.
He was selected to be part of the England Team at The Game Fair where England were overall winners.
Flint, with only TWO trial runs in October 2018, received a COM in the first two day open and followed that
with a decisive win at South West Scotland G.A. in October qualifying him for the IGL 2018.
Despite reaching the final 12 (from 58 dogs), on the 3rd day. Flint didn't feature in the awards but I was very pleased with his performance.
Flint started 2019 well by yet again being selected to represent England at the Skinner's World Cup and The Game Fair as part of the Winning England Team.
After a couple of trial runs in October 2019, Flint put in a great performance at the Midland Gundog Society's two day Open trial and Eastern Counties Retriever Society's Two Day. He was awarded 2nd place at both and I was very pleased with both performances.
Flint as always, performed exceptionally well in training during 2020 - but the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a missed 2020 trialling season. Flint was retired from trial competition in 2021 and enjoyed a retirement with me and then with good friends Carolyn and Phil as a shoot companion and enjoyed his nights in front of the fire.
He will Never be forgotten
