Gundogs

The gundog area is always a hive of activity as wagging tails and excited handlers prepare to take part in the various tests and competitions that take place throughout the weekend.

Watch working dogs being put through their paces and you’ll be impressed by their abilities and those of their handlers.

A purpose-built area hosts all the working tests and replicates many of the situations encountered out shooting. Dogs are tested on their hunting, marking and retrieving abilities as well as their steadiness to shot. Handlers are being judged on their skills in directing and controlling their dog.

Whether you have your own gundog in training or are simply a dog lover, the gundog area is packed full of four-legged friends eager to show off their skills.

The gundog displays are kindly sponsored by Murray Beith Murray.
