Idiots guide: How do I find out where puppy, or indeed any, working tests are taking place, apart from those at my club?
Thanks

Thanks
I have a springer spaniel puppy who'll be too young this season but as a total novice, both the puppy and me, I thought I may be able to go and see this season so I know what to expect and know how I can train her. I don't mind travelling but will need to work out how often/how many tests she can do. I don't want to over face her or get her to the point of boredom etc. I want her to remain fresh and enjoy working.

Hi

I am in a similar position to you.

I am entering my 16 month old springer in the AV SPANIELS / RETRIEVER FUN TEST - 1ST SEPTEMBER - BLOXWORTH which is being put on by Corbinsbere Gundogs in Dorset. This is not to far from you.



This will be my first exposure to what its all about.
