The Lincs Area of the URC held a novice gun dog cold game test at Kirmington, Lincolnshire by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Peter Lancaster.

The judges were Robert Daws, Mick Roberts and Sue Lowe.

Twenty four gun dogs began the day with a walk-up in sugar beet with a mixture of marked and blind retrieves to keep the handlers' concentrating when working their dogs in the cross breeze that was blowing.

After lunch the retrieves were made longer, following which a cut was made to six dogs who were given a drive in the beet, and then one at a time they were called forward for a blind retrieve out of the sugar beet, over a small bank and out into an adjoining stubble field.

Many thanks to all the helpers for making it such a successful day.
