There has been lots of discussion (and confusion) around where to find  the latest Canadian Field Trial results.  Previously, there was a page on the National Retriever Club (NRCC) website, however since the website is in the process of being rebuilt, much of the information is not being kept up to date.  Until the new website is up and running, you can access field trial results through Retriever Results.   No subscription is required to view event results. 

From the menu on the VIRC home page (at the top or  right side) select  Retriever Results – Field Trial Results (as shown below in yellow).   This will open the Retriever Results search page.   

On the Retriever Results Events page, select Year (2022), then Club (scroll down the list to find the Club you are interested in).

National Qualifiers:

From Retriever Results you can also see which dogs are qualified for the 2022 Canadian National.   Select Nationals from the top of the page, then select Canadian National Open, or Canadian National Amateur to see the lists.  

Thanks to Nolan & Amanda Wannop, ANW Trucking Inc, IDC Distribution Services, and Thrifty Foods for sponsoring meals at the VIRC Field Trial May 21-23 @ Swamp Dog Farm.

SOS – ALL HANDS ON DECK!

With the fall licensed trial being held at Swallowfield we need all hands on deck to help get the grounds ship shape.  There is a clean up day scheduled on Saturday, September 11, where there will be some hired help but we need as many bodies as possible to do the yeoman’s work of grooming so that judges have the best possible grounds to work with and safe for our dogs.   Please consider lending a hand even for an hour or two, as every little bit helps.  Bring your own tools – rakes, hand pruners, brush cutters, whatever you have for hand to hand combat to tackle the never ending mass of blackberry and other invasive species.   You can also help by contributing to the Swallowfield Labour Fund which pays for the hired help.

CKC is behind on approving judging panels however have given permission to publish the premium with the caveat that it is pending approval and may be subject to change.
