We ran 4 tests; Special Puppy, Veteran, ND/NH and also a Young Handler at Haxted Farm by kind permission of Robert David Spratt. We ran the same tests for each of the 4 classes with each one tailored to suit. We had a short mark and replacement in long grass, a hunt up exercise, a mark into the river followed by a blind and walk up using mown strips in long grass.
There were a good range of scores across the board very ably judged by Joy Venturi Rose, Chris Rose, Sam Kirkham and Jac Mason who was dipping her toes into “judging”water.
It was a delight to welcome two young handlers to the competition as they are the future of our sport and they did extremely well.
Once again our thanks go to our wonderful helpers, without whom we cannot put on tests, our sponsors, Skinners, Gamekeepers Goods and brown bag crisps (if you haven’t tried their crisps, you really should!) and our judges.
