Thanks to the Yorkshire Golden Retriever Club, Phil and Joyce Smithies, the judges and helpers, our host Paul Wright and the wonderful team of guns,(and their kind Gun’s Choice!), it was a wonderful trial!
Congratulations to Daniel Marx 👏
Delighted to have been awarded 2nd place with Cider in such a tough trial.
The Yorkshire Golden Retriever Club held a 12 dog Open Field Trial for AV Retrievers on a North Yorks Moor ground on Saturday 6th December 2025 by kind permission of our host Paul Wright.
The team of guns were led by Julian Williams with Mark Wilson acting as Chief Steward and Liz Robinson as Dog Steward.
I would like to personally thank Mark and Liz for offering to help me today as due to my current health I could not have done it without them and all those helping
Our Judges today were Steve Cullis & Paul Stogden on the left and Paula Cullis and John Day on the right
