We would love more of you to put in a claim for the Founders Trophy. Please don’t think that you have to have fantastic results in both show and working spheres. A show dog with a working test award can win, as can a field trial dog with a show award, so field triallers enter the FT class at any show and show folk have a go at a Novice Dog/Novice Handler Working Test, you never know you could win our most prestigious award.
The trophy is awarded annually at the club’s AGM to the retriever gaining the highest aggregate points in both the Show and Working disciplines.
Field trials: 1st = 10, 2nd = 8, 3rd – 6, 4th = 4, COM = 2
Working Tests /Ch Shows: 1st – 3, 2nd – 2, 3rd – 1.
Open Shows: lst = 1 (all classes).
Entries should be sent to Graham Stanley, Hon Secretary before the AGM.
