The Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria held an a.v. novice/open working test at Hetton Lyons Country Park on a glorious sunny day.
The judges were Glyn Coupar, Bob Jackson and Johnny Pallister.
Only two goldens were entered in the novice, one being the eventual winner and the other coming joint fifth.
All the other competitors for the well set out and challenging tests were labradors.
In the open test three goldens were running, with two just pipped out of the placings by a couple of points.
