PAIRS TEST SATURDAY 27th MAY 2006

By kind permission of Jack & David Kendal
Keeper: Ian Boxall

Judges: Kevin Hubbard & Tom Walsh

A very happy day with a great atmosphere and members came from the Isle of Wight to compete. Fantastic ground for the test although if you were hoping to spectate they kept on the move so vieiwing as not great. The tests were set to simulate a rough shooting day with the spaniels quartering in front and the retreivers at heel. The tests were excellent working with two pairs in line and everyone appeared to enjoy working their dogs like this. A great steadiness test and also good to see the spaniels hunting in front.

A huge thankyou to my judges and all my helpers for maing the day run so smoothly.
