Genuine question

Made up over 100 FTCH... and yes you read that correctly 100

Wow..out of interest is that more than anyone else and if so how far behind and who would be no2 (statistically)

Statistically ****ing miles behind For a single handler I'd doubt it will ever be equalled.

I don't know about statistics of such things but it certainly sounds an incredible record

I enjoyed training with Graham West too although it was quite a mixed group and my pup was very young. I liked the day I did with Andy Cullen. Roy Ellershaw is an absolute gentleman, very kind and helpful to a beginner like me

Just to mix this up...is it just about competition as in FT or can we split it into top Ft and top working dog folk ??

As I said

Taking top 5 trainers to be top 5 trialling handlers

otherwise you'll be here all day, one man's meat being another man's poison in terms of what a "good" dog is.

Somebody asked a question, some have given answers, its a discussion forum after all

Not all the top trialing handlers train their own dogs, so you're looking at 2 different things here. The top trainers, then the top handlers. Now some will overlap but not all.
You will find that a lot of people will give various variations on this!
