Kirkbourne Spaniels National Gundog Team Event
Every year kirkbourne hold our National Gundog Team event in Richmond North Yorkshire. Save the date 8th and 9th July. Dogs and handlers come from all over the UK to go head to head to lift the trophy. It's a great event and members of our club and the public are encourage to come and watch to support the teams. We are also always looking for helpers to join in and throw either dummies or cold game for us. On a night we all gather round a camp fire and have drinks and laughs. If you are interested in coming along hit the link below to book on. We also have a scurry and long retrieve with some great sponsored prizes. Any questions feel free to send me a message. We hope to see you all there for a great weekend.
You are also able to camp with us for the weekend if you wish. We have toilets and waste facilities. We don't however have power but you are welcome to bring a generator so long as its not next to my caravan. There will be our own Kirkbourne stall selling gun dog training equipment along with others TBA.

You threw the dummy. Your pup flew out there, picked it up, and then... ran the other way. Or sat down with it. Or dropped it halfway back and started sniffing. Sound familiar?
