The Team Challenge for Retrievers and Spaniels

The 11th Retriever Team Challenge saw Paul Green take away the honour of Top Dog with his Labrador retriever bitch, Slipside Ebony. Conditions for the 8 competing teams became challenging with two very heavy rain squalls hitting the site. Interestingly, the rain appeared to improve scenting conditions, so important for these open class dogs. Once again the teams were most appreciative of the faultless delivery of this competition, managed for the 16th time by Mrs Caroline Macgregor for the last time. Caroline has been closely involved since the inception of the Fair in 1996 and ran the well-respected first ever International Retriever Competition in the UK at the Fair and for a further 6 years. We will miss her enthusiasm and drive. The winning team place was taken by the Wiltshire Working Gundog Society with the South Eastern Gundog Society team taking second place and the United Retriever Club (Hampshire & South West) running in 3rd. Our sponsors were Chudley’s Dog Food, the British Association for Sports and Conservation (BASC), Hi-Lost dog supplies and AW Rule Gunmakers. Altogether a fine days sport for all involved.
