In the Show Ring...

We could never thank John and Rachel Robertson of Meadowbriar enough for entrusting us with this spectacular boy.

Macbeth tottered onto the show scene in 2016, taking multiple Class in Group wins as he grew up and grew into himself. 10 years on, he is still making his mark in the show ring.

From the very beginning, Macbeth has possessed a temperament most breeders would envy. He bonds deeply with his family while remaining level-headed, confident and outgoing enough to shine in the public eye. He has been a wonderful ambassador for our rare breed at events including the Dog Lovers Show and the Royals, charming both adults and children alike.

In 2018, Macbeth discovered his passion for Lure Coursing. He achieved his JC (Junior Courser) title during his very first weekend and never looked back. In 2019, he continued his success, gaining his CA (Coursing Ability) title, being named the Fastest Field Spaniel in Australia in the Battle of the States, and finishing the year by earning his third Lure Coursing title, CAA (Coursing Ability Advanced).

Sadly, following COVID, we made the difficult decision to retire Macbeth from Lure Coursing.

But retirement from one sport certainly did not mean retirement from activity!

In 2019, Macbeth stretched his wings once again and turned his remarkable nose to Tracking. With outstanding results, he sniffed his way through Tracks 1, 2 and 3 to earn his TD title, followed closely by Tracks 4, 5 and 6 to gain his TDX. His Track 5 was particularly memorable, earning an Excellent in truly horrendous weather.

Track on, my boy!

2020 saw virtually the whole world taking a year off, and we were no different here at Longbourn. But in 2021, Macbeth was back to living life to the fullest. The year had barely begun when he gained his Grand Champion title in the conformation ring. Following another lockdown, he bounced back into action and once again demonstrated his versatility by gaining his first Track and Search title, TSD.

In 2022, Macbeth took more of a back seat in the show ring as two of his daughters began their own show careers. He still came along because, quite simply, he adores meeting new people. In fact, we suspect the endless hugs and attention may actually be his preferred part of the day!

He certainly hadn't hung up his lead altogether, however. Macbeth returned to the tracks, this time taking on Urban Tracking, where he sniffed his way right to the top and earned his Track & Search Grand Champion title.

2023 saw Macbeth return to both Tracking and the Show Ring with the introduction of the new Tracking Grand Champion title, as well as making his debut in the Neuter ring. As always, he did not disappoint.

He entered the Neuter ring in early 2024 and quickly gained his Neuter Champion title, even picking up a Best Neuter in Group along the way. However, it was never our intention to campaign him extensively in Neuter, so once autumn arrived, Macbeth was back out in the paddocks tackling the newly introduced Tracking levels 9 and 10.

He gained his Tracking Grand Champion title in short order, passing both tests first time.

So… what was next?

Never one to sit idle for long, in 2025 we decided to take Macbeth back to his first love — running!

With the introduction of SprintDog, we could indulge his love of speed without the concerns associated with tight turns and potential injuries.

In just three trials, Macbeth gained his first SprintDog title, N.SPRD, in April 2025, quickly followed by his SPRD.

Then, at his very first trial of 2026, he gained his SPRD.A. (Advanced)continued on to his SPRD.X (Excellent) and ended the year with his SPRD.M (Masters)

There really is no stopping this boy!

We always knew Macbeth had a bright future ahead of him, but he continues to exceed every expectation.

From the show ring to Lure Coursing, Tracking, Track & Search and SprintDog, Macbeth has proven himself to be an extraordinary example of the versatility, intelligence, drive, athleticism and wonderful temperament of the Field Spaniel.

At 10 years old, he is still shining — and we couldn't be prouder of him.

Field Spaniel critique...

Best of Breed ('Coco' Ch Meadowbriar Chocolate Coated) : Lovely bitch with very typical movement. She has a long well chiseled muzzle. Correct stop, eye and expression, well made front, level topline, ribs go well back, super temperament.

Puppy of Breed : Very promising, would like a little more depth to muzzle. Very typical and movement Ok.

General Comments : They could all be a bit bigger and up on leg a fraction. Mouths were Ok, as everywhere, feet and pasterns not great on all.

We were raelly proud of 'Mac' Ch Meadowbriar Macbeth Findlaech JC at Friday's Melbourne Royal 2018.

He took 'Best Intermediate Dog' in a strong line-up of dogs.

We could ask no more of our beautiful boy!
