2010, April, 24th:

The 2010 spring time field-trial season has been marked by a reduction of the numbers of open and inter-clubs trials, and an increasing scarcity of birds, in some place worse  than in some others. The beginning of the season occurred on grounds with a very short cover, propitious to an extreme mobility of the partridges, very difficult to be pointed at. The end of the season has known a more normal vegetation, but with a density of birds  very different from one place to another.

Yet, the Epagneuls Bretons proved they were able, in those fastidious conditions, to show once more their ability to face natural wild birds. And so, 137 of them have been ranked at least once this spring, or, for five among them, to deserve a CQN (i.e. Certificate of Natural Qualities, which is not a reward but an encouragement to progress).

The first French breed deserved the following rewards:

-7 CACIT

-8 RCACIT

-63 CACT

-24 RCACT

-46 First prize Excellent

-53 Second prize Excellent

-50 other placements Excellent

-86 qualifications as Very Good

Three dogs were awarded 8 times, and three were awarded 7 times.
