When Karen Saynor emailed her regular order for food to CSJ she also told them that her bitch Ekko was made up to Field Trial Champion.

This makes Ekko (FT Ch Tarkanya Spikeys Splendour) only the second ever FTCh in the breed in the UK.

She was the first Munsterlander to win an Open Field Trial since 1984 and Karen was naturally delighted when she won her second.

Karen says “Ekko is a wonderful working bitch with a lovely temperament and a very soft mouth.

At present she has numerous Working Test awards, several pointing test gradings and 18 Field Trial awards including Firsts in novice, All Aged and now two Firsts in Open.

She works as often as possible as a Hunt, Point and Retrieve dog and we also pick up on a few shoots.”
