On 13.9.26 the FCRS and the Eastern Counties Golden Retriever Club jointly held a Royal Kennel Club Working Gundog Certificate Assessment day at Rickneys; judged by Andrew Wright (A-Panel), Julia Reed (B-Panel), Sarah Young (NP) and Mike Hamilton (NP).
The assessment was based on several exercises mimicking shooting scenarios and evaluating Control, Hunting, Retrieving, Obedience and Temperament during a walk up, a drive, jumping fences, hunting cover and retrieving from water.
Out of 15 dogs (3 Labrador Retrievers , 3 Golden Retrievers, 2 Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and 7 Flatcoated Retrievers) 4 handlers and their dogs achieved the required assessment standard.
Congratulations to:
Gemma Jacobs with Gemswin Handbags N Gladrags (FCR)
Sarah Phipps-Baker with Bramleyholme Betty’s Nomad (Lab)
Cathy Acheson with Great River Ticino of Eastering (CBR)
Sam Davis with Gwyddgia Blackwood (Lab), and
