Assessment Day

Our assessment day this year was a great sucess with dogs and handlers doing their very best to show their skills and win one of the many prizes and rosettes. We had great weather, the hotdogs and burgers where super, and we must give huge thanks to our assessors on the day who, as well as awarding points for each test, really entered into the spirit of the day and gave everyone lots of help and advice.

 Mullinscote

 On Sunday 7th March around twenty five assorted gundogs and their handlers from the Christchurch Gundog club visited the Mullinscote gundog training centre near Andover to see how other gundog trainers go about the often tricky and sometimes frustrating task of training their gundogs.

We arrived around 10 am and were met by our trainer for the day, Howard Kirby, who for the first half hour or so entertained us in their super clubhouse whilst explaining some of the finer points of dog psycology! He was assisted by his spanial Teasel and our own Katie who did a splendid doggy impression when a more detailed lesson in heal work was required.

We then went outside into glorious sunshine and on to their training ground where everyone had plenty of opportunity to put their dogs through their paces at all levels with Howard offering lots of encouragement and words of wisdom throughout.

The morning ended with a team retrieving event with everyone joining in at their level.

Next stop was the George Hotel at Over Wallop for a very enjoyable roast dinner and home.
