Despite the name. THE CLUMBER SPANIEL GUNDOG CLUB welcome other minority breed spaniels wanting to train for excellence. Our first meeting of the year was therefore an inclusive affair with several other minority breeds being put through their paces alongside Clumbers merging against the snowy backdrop of Cliff Farm,
Andy Parker and Roy Ellershaw were the day’s trainers, two people who have an amazing record in Clumber training and handling. High quality training was assured and the Club thanks Andy and Roy for their continued passion in helping members get the very best from their dogs,
CSGC sessions start with a discussion about each handler’s progress, in a friendly constructive manner from which everyone benefits. We then go out to work, pausing for a much-needed hot lunch, then onwards while ever the stamina and desire of the dogs and handlers holds good.
Everyone had travelled under difficult weather conditions, but no one further than Erik and Tom who had come from Belgium specifically to be with us. An expression of esteem for our pair of trainers indeed.
The great thing about these sessions is a joy in seeing ability in dogs and handlers as they strive to constantly improve their gundog work. Andy and Roy were well pleased with progress across the board, along with some exciting newcomers to the group. Looks like a fabulous summer coming!
Caro Dell of Workingline images was with us and snapped some lovely pictures to mark the day.
