We always look forward to our visit to Twigmoor Woods as it heralds the start of the working test season. Thirty handlers took the opportunity to begin preparing their dogs for the competitions to come. They thoroughly enjoyed the considerable variety of retrieve possible at Scawby and marvelled at how dry the ground was considering the dreadful amount of rain we have endured.
The morning training groups were led by Sue Lowe (puppies/beginners), Andy Slingsby (novice 1), Martin Eveleigh (novice 2) and Ray Newell (open). In the afternoon our trainers became judges for four tests that reflected the morning’s themes. We thank them and their helpers for a very useful day.
