Thunderbolt (Gun), was born 22nd May 2002, and started
trialing in October 2004. He gaining a COM in his second
trial, and then WON on his fourth novice run, which
was in the Dukeries Novice trial at Bellister, Northumberland
on the 13th November 2004. Gun had one more run that
season which was the Dukeries All Age Stake at Atherstone,
Warwickshire, which he also WON.
In
2005 Gun competed in three 2-day open stakes, reaching
the second day in all three trials, however he did not
finish any of the trials, to gain any awards.
In
2006 Gun competed in four 2-day open stakes, reaching
the second day on three occasions with one COM and a
FIRST in the Midland Counties F.T.S. 2-day stake at
Ampton on the 7 & 8 September. We returned to Ampton
for the Retriever championship in December of that year
where Gun failed on a bird late on the second day when
there were fifteen dogs remaining.
In
2006 Gun competed in five 2-day open stakes, reaching
the second day on four occasions with one COM, one SECOND
in the Carmarthenshire 2-day stake at Alvington on the
22nd & 23rd October and a FIRST for the second year
running in the Midland Counties F.T.S. 2-day stake at
Ampton on the 11th & 12th October. This win made
him up to a FT CH. We competed in the Retriever championship
at Windsor in December failing on a running Partridge
late on the second day when there were nine dogs remaining.
Gun
is a very kind, laid back dog, who really wants to please,
and handles extremely well. As a young dog he took time
to come to hand, but with experience, has come a level
of confidence and ability, which belies his early years.
He combines a calm nature, which allows him to handle
pressure very well, along with the ability to attack
difficult cover and outrun on a long blind with enthusiasm,
style and speed. His greatest strength, which I believe
is clearly shown by his trailing record, is his consistency.
