Casblaidd Valdoonican WGC HTM NOV Ex, HTM INT Ex

�Heath� approaches life with joy and enthusiasm daily. His temperament with people, dogs and livestock is impeccable, he can be taken anywhere.

Working weekly on 3 shoots, he has a great nose, naturally uses the wind to his advantage and holds an area nicely. He is a rocket out of the starting blocks and covers ground with ease, both on the way out for and on the way back from a retrieve.

He tackles cover and obstacles effortlessly, marks brilliantly and rarely needs direction for me, although he can take it if needed. He picks runners cleanly and efficiently and has a soft mouth even over obstacles. He swims like and otter and retrieves freshly shot duck from the water with proficiency.

He has passed his KCWGC on dummies and game, and all three of his Novice Retriever Assessments first time.

He competes in Heelwork to Music, gaining his �Ex" titles in Novice and then Intermediate classes in under 10 shows, moving him up to working at Advanced level, with the chance to qualify to compete in the Crufts final in the Main Arena.

His action while working is glorious, powering from a strong back end, stretching and elevating an extended trot throughout the entire routine.

He has been part of the Heelwork to Music demonstration team at Crufts for 3 years combining his temperament, trainability and work ethic to demonstrate routines, sometimes in a synchronised group, twice a day for four days in a busy and overwhelming environment, including the Main Arena live on TV!
