Working Test on 18 September 2022

The Isle of Wight Gundog Club held a Working Test on 18 September 2022.  We would like to give a huge thanks to the very supportive landowners Jenny, David and Barry as well as all the helpers that made the day such a huge success.

It was a glorious sunny day and we welcomed over 60 competitors to Moor Farm to take part in a Puppy, Novice, Open and Non retriever working test. The day started with a minute’s silence to honour and pay tribute to our beloved Queen.

The competition was judged by the very experienced Dave England, Ken Green, Jane and Keith Manley and Henrietta Fletcher. With five tests in each category the competitors had plenty of variety. All the challenges were completed by 3.30 thanks to the support of our  wonderful team of helpers. After a runoff for 3rd place in the Novice the results are as follows.
