Working dog sporting events

For those with retrievers keen on working tests there will be a Novice Test on the Saturday and an Open Test on the Sunday. These will be pre-entry events and details and an entry form will be available from the BASC website or by calling Gundog Department on 01244 573019, there will be limited numbers so apply early to be sure of a run.
There will be a £100 top prize, in each of these events along with trophies to keep and Chudleys dog food for the prize winners. The best open dog will also win the Chudleys Classic cup. A new and exciting element to this test will be ‘sim bird’, a series of combined remote dummy launchers and realistic sound designed by gundog gear to replicate a drive on a shoot.
Monday will be ‘have a go day’, when anyone visiting with their dog will have the opportunity to have a go and try the ‘sim bird’ test and experience. BASC will have gundog advisors available over the 3 days to give help and advice on all dog related matters and the Chudleys team will also be on hand to offer any nutritional advice providing samples and information leaflets.
