On the 17th April 2011 Boss run for the Barton & Humber Gundog
Club - in the Kelly Memorial Inter Counties Gundog Working Test
which was held at Lyndon, Rutland. The day was very well organised
and professionally run with 6 very well thought out tests which
challenged the dogs and handlers. At the end of the day we proudly
gained 3rd place out of an entry of 12 teams (39 dogs in total).
This test consisted of three blind retrieves - one for each dog. The first retrieve was to the right of the judge and John Day and which was placed in cover, John Days dog Middlegate Winter of Humbershot picked the dummy cleanly. The second retrieve was in front but to the right and placed near a white barrel - this dummy to be picked by David Brown and his dog Hamford Wig and again the dummy was picked cleanly. The third dummy was placed diagonally to the left and placed on top of a mound - this retrieve to be picked by Boss which picked the dummy cleanly.
This test was a seen thrown into the rape crop just below the brow of the hill.
This test consisted of a seen thrown to the left of the trees which was to be picked by Middlegate Winter of Humbershot, then a blind was placed under the middle tree which was to be picked by Hamford Wig and the third dummy which was also a blind was placed under the tree on the right - and to be picked by Boss.

Me shaking hands with Ged Leeson who was a judge on the day
and getting ready for our last test of the day.
This test was a walk up with a distraction thrown out in front and a blind dummy placed in the far field in the photo and which was in cover. The blind dummy to be picked from our left and the seen to be ignored.
Final result after a cracking day -
