The Essex Area of the URC held special puppy, novice and veteran tests at Lyons Hall, Great Leighs by kind permission of Mr C. Tritton, and generously sponsored by Masters Dog Food.
Judged by Caroline Heasman and Angie Musk, the event saw fine weather for the 24 dogs taking part, with a strong wind blowing and rain occasionally threatening.
The ground allowed many and varied tests to be set.
Before lunch there were four tests with marks, unseen and water retrieves, heel work and a hunt-up in the trees, and after lunch all dogs went forward to a walk-up in sugar beet.
