EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Second Working Trials of the Sporting Spaniel Club held in October 1899. The image showcases a group of proud handlers and their well-trained spaniels in the midst of a working trial, an event designed to test the dogs' abilities in various hunting scenarios. The scene is set at a picturesque location, with the lush greenery of Beechgrove Estate providing a beautiful backdrop. The dogs, with their sleek coats and focused expressions, are seen working in different positions - some retrieving game from the water using battines, others carrying birds in their mouths, and a few waiting patiently for their turn. Among the handlers, we can identify some notable figures such as Mr. Cox, Mr. Hanger, and Mr. Harding, all of whom were esteemed members of the Sporting Spaniel Club. The trial judges, Mr. Fitzherbert, Lyric, Watt, Hoar, Cross, and Shutly, are also present, observing the dogs' performance with great interest. The use of props like hangers and hats adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back to the 1890s when such trials were a popular pastime for sportsmen and their beloved spaniels. The photograph is a testament to the strong bond between man and dog, as well as the enduring tradition of hunting with spaniels that continues to this day.
