The Labrador Club of Scotland

The Labrador Club of Scotland’s Annual (A.V. Retriever) Gundog Working Test which is sponsored by CSJ Specialist Canine Feedswas held at Glenalmond Estate, Perthshire on Sunday 3^rd June 2012 by kind permission of Mr H.R Astrup and his head keeper Brian Dixon.

It was a great day on absolutely fantastic ground and with an excellent range of tests being set up by our judges Joe Maclure, Alan Meldrum, George Greig, Lois Holmes ably assisted by trainee judge Nikki Waddington.  The weather was excellent and we also had a nice breeze to aid the dogs and keep the dreaded midgies away for the majority of the day.  

There was an excellent turn out for the event with a total of 62 retrievers competing in the various Stakes. All competitors and spectators appeared to have a really enjoyable event and there was a really good buzz about the place all day with some excellent banter being enjoyed throughout.

Every member of the Field Trials Sub Committee was in attendance and everyone worked extremely hard to ensure that the day went without a hitch.

The Field Trials Secretary Stan Payne and Mike Rolland donated a new trophy to the club for the Open Test. “The Braalcastle & Cardy Trophy” which was won by Erica Munro Ferguson.
