Wales Team.
The selected dogs to represent Wales at this year’s CLA Game Fair Gundog International on the 19th and 20th of July 2014 at Blenheim Palace near Oxford are as follows –
The spaniel team selection this year had 18 dogs compete, all winners, the majority being open trial winners along with wins in open tests. The top three dogs were outstanding on the day. The fourth, fifth and reserve dog being selected after a long discussion by our experienced judges Ralph Edwards and Roger Shepherd.
The retriever team selected this year based on dogs’ consistent performances this year, at the GB selection test in March, Windsor charity test in April, Highclere selection test in May, club tests, Skinners World cup in Highclere, Sherbourne club competition, Kennel Club Test, and the 2013/14 field trial results, this team being filled with experienced handlers and dogs.
Last year’s performance can hopefully be built upon, the spaniel team only 32 points off the invincible Irish team, the retriever team 51 points off the formidable England team.
Here are the 10 dogs and handlers selected along with named reserves.
