The pandemic played havoc with last year s schedule of trials and tests, but David Tomlinson is feeling optimistic about 2021 s events
All being well as we come out of the paralysis of lockdown, field trials for dogs will return once again.
Pointer and setter handlers will have missed the early spring grouse trials on the moors and the East Anglian pheasant and partridge days that are traditionally held in April, but there’s optimism that trials will resume on 12 July at Lauder, when the Dukeries Gundog Club is planning to hold a novice/all-aged stake.
The highlight of the pointer and setter season, the IGL’s Champion Stake, is scheduled to take place at Bollihope in County Durham on the early dates of 28 and 29 July.
