Field Spaniel critique...
Best of Breed ('Coco' Ch Meadowbriar Chocolate Coated) : Lovely bitch with very typical movement. She has a long well chiseled muzzle. Correct stop, eye and expression, well made front, level topline, ribs go well back, super temperament.
Puppy of Breed : Very promising, would like a little more depth to muzzle. Very typical and movement Ok.
General Comments : They could all be a bit bigger and up on leg a fraction. Mouths were Ok, as everywhere, feet and pasterns not great on all.
Hello!
&
Welcome to My Page!
We could not Thank John & Rachel Robertson of Meadowbriar enough for entrusting us with this spectacular boy.
He tottered onto the show scene in 2016 taking multiple 'Class in Group' wins as he grew up and grew into himself and he's still making his mark in the showring at 5 yrs old.
He has a temperament most breeders would be envious of, bonding deeply with his family, but level and confident enough to be a star with the public at both the 'Dog Lovers Show' & Royals impressing Adults and Children alike and proving an exemplary ambassador for our rare breed.
In 2018 he discovered 'Lure Coursing' achieving his JC (Junior Courser) title in his first weekend and he's not missed a beat yet! In 2019 he continued his passion for Lure Coursing achieving his CA (Coursing Ability) title, the achievement of Fastest Field Spaniel in Australia in Battle of the States and by the end of the year he gained his third Luring title, his CAA (Coursing Ability Advanced).
More recently (2019) has seen Macbeth stretch his wings further as he tried his nose at Tracking and with great results... sniffing his way throught tracks 1,2 & 3 to his TD title... closely followed by his tracks 4,5 & 6 to gain his TDX title... (gaining an Excellent on his track 5 in horrendous weather)
Track On my Boy!
2020 saw virtually the whole world taking a year off and we were no different here at Longbourn.
But 2021 saw Macbeth returning to living life to the fullest. The year had hardly arrived when he gained his Grand Champion title in the conformation ring. Then after another lockdown he bounced back out to to show just how versatile he is by gaining his first Track and Search title (TSD).
2022 has seen Macbeth take a back seat in the show ring after his 2 daughters hit the ring. He still comes along as he still adores meeting new people, infact we think this is his preference all the hugs and none of the effort...
However he hasn't totally hung up his lead just yet as he hit the Tracks once again, this time going Urban to sniff his way right to the top and his 'Track & Search Grand Champion!!!
We always knew Macbeth had a bright future, but he just keeps on shining!
