SSAA WORKING GUNDOGS QUEENSLAND IS UP AND RUNNING

Inaugural Retrieving Trial Results

The United Field & Retrieving Branch has officially commenced operations in Queensland. From the initial formation meeting on the 28th May this year until the Inaugural Retrieving Trial weekend 21st/22nd July it is hard to believe so much has been achieved in only two months. It has taken four general meetings with willing participation and hard work by all members. At present United Field & Retrieving is concentrating on the Retrieving Discipline but plans are already underway to take up the other disciplines for working gundogs. Our crowning glory is the Inaugural Retrieving Trial. The ability to hold retrieving trials in the public arena is an objective we have cherished for years, and at last it is a reality.

Retrieving trials are conducted under the national rules of the SSAA Working Gundog Association of Australia

We have another Retrieving Trial on Saturday 15th September near Samsonvale SE Queensland. This will help us confirm the usage of WGAA national rules prior to our next major trial in October. This trial will be established as the Queensland Cup conducted annually at the same time of year over two days. It is on the weekend 13/14 October this year. Our branch contact details are now on the SSAA web site. We invite all SSAA members to come along and see what Working Gundogs are all about.
