Successful Training Test For United Retriever Club, North Midland Area

The Test was held at Farfield Farm, Aston, Derbyshire by kind invitation of Stuart Elliott.

The Judges were Malcolm Peacock and Doreen Thompson with the test taking place in pleasant September weather with scenic views across the Hope Valley in the heart of the Peak District.

The tests were set by Steve and Anne Crookes with marked and blind retrieves on undulating parkland and an obedience exercise through a gate.

Twenty two dogs and handlers enjoyed this conclusion to the training season with prizes generously sponsored by Alpha Feeds.
