News and Information
See you at Beta Gundog Weekend
Posted May 3rd, 2007
This year’s Beta Gundog Weekend is on this weekend 5th-6th May 2007 and the Kimmax gang will be competing again this year, but with a difference.
In previous years, Peter has appeared with Willow (Ch Kimmax Rock the Kasbar), who won the competition in 2003, runner-up in 2005 and a finalist in 2006. Willow is now 11 years old and still dead keen, but she has been retired from competition for her own good!
Willow, however, can be proud as her daughter, the fantastic Poppy (Kimmax Kollectable) will be running in her 2nd Beta competition with her owner and trainer, Chris Frearson. She made the final last year and beat her mother coming a spectacular 4th overall on his first attempt.
This year Kasey, (Kimmax Kareful Kid) who is Peter’s youngster will go up against the best in the UK having proven himself over the field trial season. Hopefully he will rise to the occasion but is really there to gain experience for future years.
This year will also be the first time that Maestro will not be appearing (having been placed third in 2003 and was 2nd in 2004). So this year Maxine will be running our best dog of the moment, Joker (Ch Just Joking for Kimmax JW ShCM). Joker has had an incredible field trial record to date, having been the highest place dog in 4 of his 7 field trial awards including a 1st in Novice and a 2nd in an All Aged, both with Maxine.
Joker just missed the final last year by the narrowest of margins so hopefully he will demonstrate his class and be a strong contender this year.
