FIELD TRIALS

The Club runs seven Field Trials each year in accordance with Kennel Club Rules & Regulations. 
The aim of each trial is to run it as close as possible to a day’s shooting. The dogs are required to systemically quarter the ground with pace and style, showing natural hunting ability. They should point gamebirds and when asked, work out the point freely and drop to flush and shot. 
The trials that the Pointer Club runs are held at Lauder and Reeth in July and in Norfolk in September. The trials at Lauder and Reeth are on Grouse and the September trials in Norfolk are on Partridge. The Club is extremely lucky to have some of the best ground in the country on which to hold our trials and is very grateful to all of the landowners for their generosity. We are also indebted to all of the head keepers & their teams for the time & support they give us at each of the trials.

TRAINING DAYS

In addition to the field trials we also hold up to three training days for Pointers and Setters per year. The aim of these days are to help educate & encourage newcomers to our sport. They are designed to help owners and their dogs to gain an insight into the background and basic training of a working Pointer or Setter and also understand more about the quarry and management of the ground that we work on. We hope that by attending these days that some participants are able to progress to a standard capable of entering a Field Trial.

Saturday 28th March   - Pointer Club & English Setter Club Joint training Day - Alston, Cumbria
