When the running order arrived for this test with 73 names on the list I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to feel daunted at the task ahead, but all credit to the club, they did run the day very efficiently and we our completed 5 tests in about 4 or 5  hours.

Test 1 was a double mark down hill into wood which we could take in any order. The dummies were thrown either side of the dummy thrower with a shot for each at a distance of approximately 40 yards.

Test 2 was a four dog walk up in very short grass with a short and a long mark for each dog in more or less the same line from two dummy throwers. The long mark was thrown second and we were asked for the short dummy first.

Test 3 was a long mark with two shots in fairly open but boggy woodland with the dog having to first cross a wide ditch. The second retrieve was a blind in the same area.

Test 4 was a blind in the wood near the base of a large tree about 50 yards out with lots of low bramble underfoot. The gun fired a shot from a position approximately 25 yards to the right of the blind and the wind was brisk from the same direction.

Test 5 was a shot to the left to signify a blind, then another shot to the right at 90 degrees with a dummy thrown into light woodland. The judge asked us to pick the blind first which was in cover approximately 30 yards away.

With four double retrieves and a single the dogs were well tested in interesting and varied cover, mainly in woodland, which provided sufficient shade for us on this lovely warm sunny March day.

Our grateful thanks to Joyce for running an excellent test and to all her helpers who made the day run very smoothly. With Novice entry numbers ever increasing the Guildford showed us all that it’s perfectly possible to put nearly 60 dogs through their paces and still get home in time for a few hours in the garden!
