Competition to test dogs' hunting and retrieving skills

The Kennel Club has announced that it will be holding a Hunt, Point, Retrieve (HPR) Championship this year, at the Swinton Park estate, North Yorkshire, on November 15-16.

The championship, which will be designed specifically to test the dogs’ quartering, hunting and retrieving skills at a championship level, will offer the chance for owners of HPR breeds to demonstrate the working skills of their dogs in a competitive setting.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “The fact that the Kennel Club has decided to hold a Hunt, Point, Retrieve Championship is a tribute to the hard work put in by the HPR community, who are continuously and consistently raising the standard of their dogs’ work.

“The HPR Championship will join the ranks of the existing Cocker Spaniel Championship and Retriever Championship as a prestigious pinnacle in the working gundog calendar for the respective breeds, and we are very much looking forward to seeing the wonderful level of talent showcased by the HPR breeds.”

Further information on the HPR Championship will be released nearer the time.  To find out about Kennel Club field trials, visit www.thekennelclub.org.uk/fieldtrials.
