Nigel Dear obtained his first HPR dog, a Hungarian Vizsla, Aldom Red Grouse [Jack] a few years ago and was lucky enough to be trained by the only couple who have achieved three dual HPR champions [that is field trial champion and show champion] and two field trial champions, a feat that is unlikely ever to be equalled. Nigel is the field trial secretary for the Hungarian Vizsla Society and chairman of the Hunt, Point, Retrieve Field Trial Association. Resident - Shropshire.
