Did you know that if you bring your dog to the show you could be in with a chance of winning a prize? Open to all who fancy a go? Our friends at Simbo's Gundogs put on the Scurry for you to have a go at, 2 dummies are thrown and the fastest timed retrieves win prizes. The team also put on a fantastic display in the President's Ring showing how dogs are trained for the field in the afternoon and how they work. We can't wait to see what they come up with for this year's show.
