A note from Judge Terri Everwine
I had the pleasure of judging the Field Spaniel Society of America TD test today. The test was held at Governor Nelson State Park just outside of Madison, WI.
My co judge was Ed Presnall, himself owner of Race, the CT Field spaniel. It was sad to see only one Field entered in the test, but nice that the test was open to all breeds, enabling 4 additional dogs of other breeds to earn their titles today. It's always wonderful to have numerous passes, and 5 of 6 passed today!
This is a new area for tracking tests, and is a site with rolling hills and varied cover. The cover looks as tho it could be rough going by fall, but for spring it was lovely. All tracks could be accessed off the main or the park road. From the interior portion of the park, a beautiful view of Lake Mendota and the capitol building in Madison made it a lovely venue.
Our first to draw, the Field Spaniel, drew track 1. The dog started nicely, worked her way almost to the second corner and spent a few minutes investigating to either side of the track before continuing on to find her glove. New TD, CH Calico's American Beauty owned by Karen Balinski of Kenosha, WI.
Second up was an Irish Water Spaniel, owned by Ruth Bruskiewitz of Madison, WI. CH Kendall's Spice Girl worked her way along the track, hesitating a bit at two corners, but leading her handler to the glove for her TD.
Next up was certainly our cutest dog of the day, a tiny Pomeranian who took her time working carefully down the track to earn her TD. This track was made more interesting by the fact that her tracklayer, Shula, is from the UK, having come over for the specialty. She wanted to learn about tracking, and volunteered to lay track. We were all thrilled for her when the dog passed on her track, and hope she will continue with her plans to get a tracking group started up in England. The Pom's owner, Victoria Leitner of Waltonville, IL, was pleased to annouce that Courbette's Curtain Call is now the only living Pomeranian with a Tracking title!
Our 4th tracker was not so fortunate. The German Shepherd started nicely, got to the 3rd corner, indicated the turn, then inexplicably turned and backtracked all 50 yards to the previous leg and from there off the track.
The 5th track was run by a Portuguese Water Dog, owned by Deb Zorn of Prospect Heights,IL. CH Encanto Brilhante Esperanza, CDX, AX, AXJ, added the TD to her list of titles with only a short deliberation at one turn.
Last up was the Golden Retriever whose owner did not think the dog was quite ready to run for the title. But run he did, to earn his TD is the shortest time of the day, his owner Marion Gabriel of Lemont, IL, trotting merrily behind! A New TD for Fireside Ghost Buster, JH!
We had some light showers and a bit of rain throughout the morning, but nothing too awful to contend with. The damp to wet grounds seemed to suit the dogs just fine! We finished our books, handed out awards and began taking pictures of the new title holders. As the last few pictures were being taken, the thunder began to rumble and almost as soon as the last picture was taken the skies opened up! The scramble for vehicles marked the official end to this successful test.
Thanks to the able capabilities and competence of the FSSA staff, Shawne Gamroth, Secretary, and the tracklayers, Terry, Corky, Leo and Shula,(sorry I didn't get any last names!) this was a fun test to work. Thanks for the opportunity!
