CCRC Gundog Training – Northern Hub, 12 October 2024.
Saturday was the CCRC Training Day with professional trainer Emma Stevens of Cunningshot Dog Training, at the Rockroyd Gundog Training Ground, Keighley.

The day was organised by CCRC Working Co-ordinator Heather Barber, and training on the day were Caron & Rita, Heather & Giles, Bea & Edgar, Nigel & Nornie, Shirley & May, Jeannette & Marion, and Jo, Clover & Sorrel.

Jo said, ‘Fabulous days training with the Curly Coated Retriever Club & Emma of Cunningshot gundogs at Rockroyd Training Ground, Clover & Sorrel had a great day & we learnt so much, as did I but great company & a crowd of Curlies made it a special day.‘
Jeannette said, ‘Thanks to all involved…. Marion surpassed my expectations and has really inspired me to do more training with her…‘
Nigel said, ‘Well what a day… All the dogs were great and Nornie learnt new skills.’
Well done everyone! Looks like it was a great day.
