Ditto...The FC or AFC doesn't affect any of us that trial other breeds. They are not going to breed to a GSP or Brittany so why worry about it or lament over the advancement of their breed. They still have to have Major wins. They still have to beat dogs to get points. Odds are they are going to have to compete in off breed trials to gain points if their trials are limited accross the country.Karen wrote:Hats off to the Spin Club of America for putting on their first field trial! Hoping there will be MANY MORE in their future! And hoping they don't allow the FT purests to change their breed, the way so many other breeds have.
With no disrespect, I would rather see them close their trials to "Spinoni" only, before I would like to see other breeds getting titles at Spinone trials or Pointing Lab Trials! I'm sure that will be the next AKC title if it is not already in the works.
Good for them!
