Match PTA competing in The Inter Counties Team Invitation Gundog Working Test – August 31st to September 1st 2019 – Chatsworth<\/span><\/p>\n

The Inter Counties Team Invitation Gundog Working Test took place within the splendid surroundings of Chatsworth House with thirteen teams once again competing for The Chatsworth Country Fair Challenge Trophy.<\/p>\n

The PTA team of Chris Pilkington, Scott Marland, and Captain Gary Collier improved on last year\u2019s third place with an extremely well deserved victory.<\/p>\n

The large gallery were quick to applaud and cheer all the teams who put on an excellent exhibition of skilled gundog handling. As usual the event was extremely well organised and lead by Philip Smithies with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers. Judges were Sue Lowe and Will Hales.<\/p>\n

“Day 1 – Chatsworth Country Fair Inter Team Gundog Working Test for the Chatsworth Country Fair Challenge Trophy and the Staindrop Challenge Trophy for the best individual.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Thirteen teams of 3 representing gundog clubs and societies from all parts of the country started day 1 of this 2 day test feeling excited and with a little trepidation at what lay in store for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>
\nSome competitors had run in the individual competition the previous day. This did not give them an advantage as Michael O’Hanlon used a different piece of ground.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The 3 team members all competed at the same time in a 3 dog walk up.<\/span><\/em>
\nEach member had a mark in front and a blind behind. Each completed all the marks then the blinds.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>
\nThe natural bunkers soon tested the handler and dog. Unfortunately some dogs did not score on the blind retrieves.<\/span><\/em>
\nMoving forward again there was a gunshot followed by a dummy thrown to the far bank of the river. This was both a distraction and a memory retrieve, which had to be picked by a nominated team member after the 3 marked retrieves on the water had been picked.<\/span><\/em>
\nAs with the blinds the water proved to be a challenge for some dogs.<\/span><\/em>
\nAt the end of day 1 3 handlers out of 39 returned a perfect score to be joint best individual.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the order (highest scores) at the end of day 1:<\/span><\/em>
\n193 – PTA<\/span><\/em>
\n183- SEG’s<\/span><\/em>
\n179 – 3 Ridings<\/span><\/em>
\n175- 3T’s<\/span><\/em>
\n173 – URC (Midland)<\/span><\/em>
\n171 – Yorkshire<\/span><\/em>
\n166 – Kent, Surrey and Sussex<\/span><\/em>
\n166 – Lincolnshire<\/span><\/em>
\n164 – Dukeries<\/span><\/em>
\n158 – Dove Valley<\/span><\/em>
\n156 – Leicestershire<\/span><\/em>
\n155 – NDLRC<\/span><\/em>
\n155 – East Midlands<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of the day the joint best individuals who had clear scores (60) were:<\/span><\/em>
\nAndrew Slingsby – Dukeries<\/span><\/em>
\nPenny Heath – SEG’s<\/span><\/em>
\nChristopher Pilkington – PTA<\/span><\/em>
\nWell done to all competitors.<\/span><\/em>
\nWe look forward to day 2. All teams will be wanting to improve their postion in the points table.<\/span><\/em>
\nThanks to Wuffitmix for sponsoring these tests.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At lunch time the gallery (which was a full house) greatly enjoyed a gundog demonstration by the Junior Handlers from Dove Valley Working Retriever Club.<\/span><\/em>
\nSummer, Billie-Jo, Brook, Oliver and Harry demonstrated their handling skills with 3 labradors and 2 springer spaniels.<\/span><\/em>
\nWe started with a steadiness exercise before advancing to the spaniels quartering in front of the line, then water retrieves in the river and to finish the demonstration Summer and Billie- Jo had their dogs retrieving across the river.<\/span><\/em>
\nThe junior handlers were supported by Don and Pat Robertson and all of them received a goody back of assorted dog training equipment generously provided by Gundog Gear.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 2nd day of the inter club test commenced with all 39 competitors having 2 retrieves, a blind and a mark.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Today all of the action took place in front of the grandstand which was full to capacity. This placed extra pressure on the competitors, some had not competed in an arena with so many members of the public watching their every move and listening to their commands.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The format was the same as the previous day, all 3 team members in line.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The first dog was sent across the river for a marked retrieve, when it had picked and was half way back across the river another dog was sent across the river for the blind. This sequence was maintained until the 3 team members had either succesfully completed their retrieve or attempted a retrieve but were called up by the judges.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Following lunch the judges took the top 6 teams back into the arena in front of the grandstand. Each team knew the scores they had gained over the 2 days and knew what they had to do if they wish to improve their position on the leader board.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In this final run off each competitor would have 1 retrieve. The retrieves being 1 blind with no gun shot and 2 marks with gun shot, 1 thrown to the right and 1 to the left.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The judges asked each team member which retrieve they were going to collect. Picking the wrong dummy would be a 0.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The blind was collected first, when the dog had picked and was half way back across the river the next dog was sent for the mark. Again when this had been picked and was crossing the river the third dog was sent.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The judges had seen enough to ensure a result.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The awards were presented by Her Grace the Duchess of Devonshire.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
