4 Team Working Test<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 23 April 2017 the PTA hosted the 4 Team Working Test at Ribble Valley Gundogs, Grimsargh. This purpose designed training ground is owned by professional gundog trainer Geoff Saint. We are indebted to Geoff for allowing us to use all of the facilities on the ground. We would also like to congratulate Geoff for winning the 16th<\/sup> Hunt Point Retrieve Championship in November 2017 at the Elveden Estate, Thetford with his Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla (Molly) Hourra Du Domain St.Hubert.<\/p>\n

The 4 teams competing this year were Burns and Becks, NEFRA, PTA and URC Northern. Each team provided a judge and our host Geoff Saint set a series of well thought out tests appropriate for puppy, novice and open dogs.<\/p>\n

On the 7 May we held our open working test at the prestigious game shoot Hoghton Tower by kind permission of Lee Redfearn.<\/p>\n

The test was run on safari style and was judged by John Drury, Anna Licciardi, Gary McCarthy, Derek Miller and Kevin Jackson.<\/p>\n

The 41 competitors were split into 5 groups and were tested on a variety of land and water retrieves as would be expected on this top class game shoot. The topography provided good viewing for the spectators and challenging retrieves for the competitors. At the end of the day eight dogs were in the awards.<\/p>\n

Our last test of the year was an open walked up test in root crops at Redwith, near Oswestry on 20 August by kind permission of Peter Frank and Ray Read.<\/p>\n

The 25 dogs were judged by Barry Cooper and Derek Miller.<\/p>\n

The judges made very good use of the ground, extending the marked and blind retrieves retrieves in a sea of vibrant green leaves. The judges told the competitors to mark everything as they could get a retrieve in front, behind the line or down the line and they did.<\/p>\n

At the end of the test three competitors were in the awards.<\/p>\n

1st<\/sup> Henry Vince Price \u2013 Galoway Rose April<\/p>\n

The last outing in 2017 for the PTA team was at the prestigious Team Invitation Working Test at Chatsworth House by kind permission of The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.<\/p>\n

Thirteen teams representing clubs the length of the country compete in this must win event.<\/p>\n

Each team comprises three dogs, many of these are field trial champions or winners and some have represented their country in international events. This is the best of the best and on a big stage at Chatsworth Country Fair.<\/p>\n

In 2015 the PTA team won the event, in 2016 it was an extremely creditable runners up award. In 2017 the team were not there to come second; winning was the only thought in their mind.<\/p>\n

With steely determination the team of Gary Collier \u2013 Thornyoaks Tanzanite, Roz McIlroy \u2013 Autumnwillow Scout and Scott Marland \u2013 Greenbriar Tame delivered every retrieve the judges asked over the two days.<\/p>\n

At the end of the second day the PTA had once again done enough to win this prestigious event. Not content with winning, Gary Collier and Thornyoaks Tanzanite were the top dog winning a very substantial prize very kindly donated by one of the exhibitors.<\/p>\n
