Novice Dog/Novice Handler Working Test at Thorganby on Sunday March 3 2024

After all the rain we have had, it was a pleasure to enjoy a dry day!  Our thanks to Mr and Mrs J Milligan-Manby for allowing us to return to this fabulous ground.  We also thank Skinners for sponsoring both events and Sue Hales-Lowe, our Chief Steward.

We also thank our Judges Julie Campbell and Gilly Bell and, of course our helpers.

All of the dogs had four tests.

Test 1 as in a wooded area.  There was a mark with shot forty yards in front followed by a blind thirty yards to the left.

Test 2 was a double mark.  After two shots, the dogs collected first the second dummy down.

Test 3 was a two dog walk up involving a mark in front and a blind behind.

Test 4 was a mark with shot thirty yards up a hill over grass followed by a blind in the same place.
