The HPR clubs were the WCGB, GSPC, GSPA and the HVC. The 29 field trial awards were three 1sts, two seconds, and two thirds in Novice and fourteen Reserves or CoMs. There was a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and a CoM in All-Aged, and two 2nds and four CoMs in Open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 7<sup>th<\/sup> October 1972 Lt.

JM Jeffrey\u2019s dog Ambersbury Melot was also awarded a CoM at the same trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following season Waldemar Titus went on to win another three CoMs and a Reserve in Novice trials. In a three year trialling period he picked up further awards including a 1<sup>st<\/sup> place in a GSPC Novice stake at Eyke, Hollesley under judges Mrs L Petrie-Hay and Maj. G. Wilkinson MBE (27\/11\/1976). Prior to this 1<sup>st<\/sup> place in Novice, the dog had won a second place in an Open stake at the GSPA\u2019s trial at Laughton, Lincolnshire, Judges IET Sladden and G Roberts officiating (02\/10\/1976). A year later Titus won another 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place in the GSPA Open stake at the same venue, again under IET Sladden, with R Miles also judging.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Waldemar Titus appears at 11<sup>th<\/sup> with 139 points (64 at Open level) in the WATFA table for dogs. Trevor went on to honour Titus by dedicating a WCGB annual award, The Titus Trophy, for achievements in the field, and this has become the most coveted of all Weimaraner Club awards by those who compete their dogs in the field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Titus sired among others, Hillbrow Quest (b) which, at just under two years of age and handled by Trevor, won a 1<sup>st<\/sup> place in a WCGB Novice stake at Dullingham in October 1977, under judges Mrs L Petrie-Hay and CL Church.
