At the age of 22 months we entered and he won his first Novice Field Trial at Jedburgh.  The next season we entered and he won Open Qualifying stakes at Boythorpe and Loton Park (which gave him the title of Field Trial.Champion) at the young age of 2 years 10 months and then he went on to win a further Open Qualifying stake in the same year at Woodhall Park.

In the showring he won a Reserve C.C. as a Puppy and then went on to win a total of 5.C.C.'s, 2 BOB's, 1 Gundog Group and 4 Reserve C.C.'s.  He was made a dual champion at 3 years 3 months making him the youngest in the breed.   It was after that I decided to retire him from the showring.  

Trophies Won By Jax in 1989/1990

In 1989 and 1990 he won the Geoffrey Sterne Memorial Trophy which his mother Bella had previously won in 1986.   After retirement at 4 yars old he was my companion and rough shooting dog, his forte being wild pheasants in sugar beet on the Cambridgeshire Fens.   He continued working in the shooting field until 13 years old after which I put him into final retirement.

Jax seemed to lead a charmed life - everything seemed so easy to him.  I wish I had a kennel full of dogs of his ability.   He died peacefully at the age of 16 years and 1 week.
