The Flatcoated Retriever Club of Scotland

Gundog Training Group

Training Weekend

 

After our recent sojourn down to England to compete in the Flatcoat Inter Club Working Test David Bellamy very kindly offered to come up to Scotland and run a training weekend for the Flatcoat Club of Scotland, Gundog Training Group with the sole purpose of concentrating on what is required for Working Tests. The weekend happened over the 16th & 17th August 2003 and proved to be a very enjoyable experience for all the dogs and handlers who participated.

Many thanks to David and his able assistant Kelly for making the weekend such good fun
