I didn’t start working with Cara and Cody’s little sister Colleen seriously until 2012 and I was rewarded with a quick response from this rather nice ESB.  She arrived on the English circuit in July 2012 and was run in the Yorkshire Gundog Club’s Novice Stake on the lovely Newbiggin Moor at Blanchland.  A classy find in the first round combined with good quartering and then more clean running in the second round secured victory for her.

I’m looking forward to running her on in 2013.

Colleen has been consistently in the awards since her debut.  She won her first Open Stake at Glarryford for the NI Pointer Club in the Spring of 2014, pipping her flashier sister Cara into second place.  She achieved her title with a win at the Northern Counties Pointer and Setter Society’s 2016 Open Stake under judges Steve Robinson and Nicky Ackerley-Kemp.

A visit to Cawdor in August 2016 saw her clinch her second Open Stake win to claim her FTCh title under judges Steve Robinson and Nicky Ackerley-Kemp. The pictures below show her second round, drawn against one of Brian Morris’s Red setters who took second spot.
