"It was SO great seeing both of you at the trial. I am extremely impressed that you made the effort to come to learn new things, and that you rode and did so well!!
I wish other AKC conformation judges could see what really is involved in field trialing. It is totally different than the hunt test program.
I really don't think many judges actually know what it takes to get a Dual Championship, and then be able to compete in the breed ring, and the group ring." - Carolyn Gold, AKC Field Trial Judge, Judges' Education, Gordon Setter Club of America
