Saffy congratulates her daughter, Brenda, on becoming a brood bitch (and also a demonstration dog) for Dogs for Good.
Saffy working
As she had shown an aptitude for training, I decided to have a go at the Show Gundog Working Certificate which she passed.
I then continued taking her to classes and started entering working tests. I was very naive going to working tests with my show bred and she picked up a lot of " 0 " scores, but by taking part we gained a lot of experience.
In 2010, with the Midland Golden Retriever Club, and in a very good entry of 20 other working bred Labradors, my show bred girl absolutely thrilled me by winning a Novice Dog/Novice Handler working test.
When out picking up, Saffy was a very reliable game finder and had a lot of drive and determination, she also was a real pleasure to watch as she carried herself beautifully, was foot sure, accurate and stylish.
Thank you, dear Saffy, for being so brilliant and for teaching me so much.

My daughter, Zoe, took several images on continuous mode with the camera as Saffy jumped this fence, and a friend merged them together for me.
