The Welsh Springer Spaniel Club of South Wales

With the sun on their backs but with water under their feet, the Welsh Springer Spaniel Club of South Wales held its Spring Working Assessment on May 13^th 2012 at land near Blackwood sponsored by CSJ. 

 Both Novice and Open tests benefited from running under experienced Worcester Gundog trainers Mr. Ron Andrews and Mr. Martin Kilminster. This was the first experience at test level for several of our Novices but the Open Test brought out some of our more experienced dogs and handlers which is shown by the number of COMs awarded where the generous quantity of CSJ Winners' Packs meant that hard work was rewarded.

Although the land had suffered from two weeks of nearly continuous rain, a warm Welsh welcome awaited all competitors with the sun shining throughout the event and with members of the WSSCSW committee providing an all-day barbecue.

CSJ's sponsorship turned the presentations into a special occasion and WSSCSW would like to thank CSJ for their generosity.

All dogs were Welsh Springer Spaniels (apart from *Clumbers).
