This is the ISCGB first Field Trial to be held at the Bretby Estate by kind permission of Mr RAH Perkins DL. A big thank you goes the Steve Bloomfield the gamekeeper and his team of guns and helpers for making us most welcome and being so helpful throughout the day. The Field trial was held in the vast woods of the estate where there was enough game and challenging ground for the dogs and handlers at this level of field trial. A varied mix of HPR were present  – GSP x 1, LM x 1, GLP x 1, W x 1, HWV x 2, GWP x 2, KG x 1 and not forgetting IS x 3.
