FtCh Morness Echo
Pointer dog DOB 28/1/24
Gerensary Pinot x Morness Ciara
Owned and handled by Duncan Sutherland
Breeder Mr L Hild
Wyvis- Morness Echo.
Wyvis is named after Ben Wyvis from where his owner Dunc Sutherland was brought up and from where he was initially picked up as pup to begin his journey to the Scottish Borders to his forever home. He now shares his home with 4 retrievers, 4 Spaniels and 2 other pointers. Living in the Lammermuir hills he has access to some of the best grouse moors in Britain. At the age of 13 months he won his first novice stake at Dalmagarry producing 3 snipe and a pair of grouse. Then in July 2025 he won the RKC puppy derby at Stublick. In the 2026 Summer trials Wyvis won the Yorkshire Gundog Society Open Stake at Newbiggen moor and then a week later won the Pointer Club breed stake at Redmire making him up to a field trial Champion (sub to RKC confirmation.)
On Monday 10th August 2026 Wyvis took to the hill at Burncastle, running in the RKC Pointer/Setter Champion Stakes. A clean production of a pair of grouse in the first round followed by a joint find of a covey of grouse in the second round resulted in Wyvis successfully completing his first time at the Champion Stake at two and a half years of age. The three judges Nikki Ackerley, Colin Ford and Colin Adamson subsequently declared Wyvis the winner of the 2026 Champion Stakes.
His temperament is second to none and his obedience is a testament to the breeders hard work and effort.

As well as competing in Field Trials Frosty is an experienced and reliable dog on shooting days. He joined the Pointer Team at The Betty Town Glen Prosen Challenge and scored highly, being given Best Pointer.
