No, I'm not interested in field trials either. My dog won't be
suited for American field trials even though she comes from a
long line of Field Trial Champions in Ireland and Britain.
British Labradors are significantly smaller than their American
cousins, slighter of build and with a quieter temperament. Male
British Labs average 70-75 pounds, the females 53-58 pounds and
while some have competed well in American field trials their
small stature puts them at a disadvantage.



A dog from British Trial lines is an EXCELLENT choice for a gun dog ...
mainly because of the quieter temperament

You'll do great Ken, keep us updated ... got a name yet?
