My interest in retrievers has started over 20 years ago. After seeing working labradors on field trials, it was a straight way to the world of working retrievers and then field trialing. We are breeding working labradors under the prefix „Brookbank” together with my wife Andrea, our goal is to breed retrievers with good natural abilities who are easy to train and handle.
Till today we made up 5 dogs to field trial champions:
Int. FTCH Eddie of Dukefield,
Int. FTCH Starcreek Ginger,
Int. FTCH Fly of Dukefield
Int. FTCH Ardmuir Earl of Brookbank
Int. FTCH Brookbank Dragonfly
My current Open dog is FTW Brookbank Ellwood.
I love training my dogs for shooting and field trials, but I enjoy running them on working tests too.
I regularly give trainings at home and abroad.
I have always worked actively for our sport, in 2005 we founded the Working Retriever Club of Hungary, I am president of the club since. I have been the head of the organizer team of the IWT in 2011 and 2021, and the European Championship for Retrievers in 2021 in Hungary. I have been judging for more than 10 years on field trials and working tests, I judged the IWT in Finland 2017 and in Austria 2022.
So I know how you feel right now, whether you are a member of the organizing team or a competitor since I’ve been on both sides several times already.
I wish every success to the organizers, and best of luck to the competitors!
