We reserve the right to add or alter judges should it prove necessary on the day.
It should be noted that:
1.This site is a working shoot and there is lots of game around so dogs must be kept on their leads at all
times unless competing.
2. It is a large site offering excellent hunting but cannot be driven around so come prepared to walk to each
test!
3. If water levels are low swimming will be limited but some retrieves will also be set over water to cover
this element.
4. You must pick up after your dog in the parking and exercise area and remove waste from site.
5. Handlers may enter more than one dog providing that they take responsibility for getting to the tests
promptly.
6. Entry fees will not be collected in the event of cancellation.
