Those that did make it in trial were just absolute superb shooting dogs and companions.
Seems like you too have a good "pedigree" tell us more :)
So much to tell we would have to get very specific. I was extremely fortunate to work for people that appreciated good dogs and good training. During that period of time i must have had my hands on 30-40 dogs and bitches, dogs that came from the aforementioned kennel blood. My own personal trial dogs and shooting dogs Saighton/ Badgercourt crosses that we had fine success with both in trial and sport, sport including personal shooting and working driven and rough shoots. during the 1990 and in to the 2000's.
Our current next best dog is out of a Imported Buccleugh bitch and a fine American dog.

Depends whether you want good viewing to see the general standard or to see a particular dog. 2014 really let's you see recent dogs on open ground.
