The Utility Gundog Society – Herts, Beds & Bucks Branch held an All-Aged Stake at Cuffley on 12th September 2023 by kind permission of Mr D. Thomas.
The judges were Andrew Wright, Liz Taylor, Sharon Coby & James Brindley.
The weather was cooler than the weekend, which was welcome. However, scent was limited on the first drive, which reduced the field by half. The second drive was grassland before the final drive over the lake, with four dogs finishing the trial.
Many thanks to the following who helped make the day a success, Tammy White, Jacqui Crew, Josefine van der Dussen, Sharon Smith, Deborah Goodman & Anne Sabido.
