Flint won the first Puppy Working Test I entered him in and we've never looked back since. Recently, at eight years old he missed out on another Open Test win being pipped at the post by just one point by a bitch six years his junior, so he's still giving the youngsters a run for their money. He is an out and out rough shooting dog and an excellent, reliable Working Test dog, but not a Field Trial dog.

Due to the foot and mouth when he was a puppy events were restricted. He has won: one Puppy Working Test; one Novice Working Test; seven Open Working Tests; got his SGWC with "Best Qualifier" in 2005; and has gained both stages of the WGC, the final part on live game as a "Picking up Dog" on a shoot.

Other awards are:
WSSC Working Dog of the Year 2003 and 2004
WSSC Working Dog of the Year Runner up 2005 and 2006
WSSCSW Working Dog of the Year 2003 (won jointly with his daughter Isfryn Ghost Swift)
SEWSSC Working Dog of the Year 2002/3 and 2004/5

I take him out on my local shoots at least twice a week in the shooting season, either picking up or beating, the latter being his favourite. His speciality is water fowl which has earned him the fond name of "the duck dog".
