Falconry Fair

BASC in conjunction with Chudleys Dog Food will be holding a series of events for gundog enthusiasts at the Warwickshire & West Midlands Game & Country Fair at Arbury Hall, on Sun 26 & Mon 27 August 2012.

There will be a chance to take part in scurries over all 3 days, with individual prizes for each scurry and the chance to gain points and a place on the scurry league. Owners and their dogs will also have the opportunity to take part in the Chudleys Challenge with the top scurry dog each day winning a special trophy and prize to keep, the best dog over the 3 days will also win £100.

For those with retrievers keen on working tests there will be a Novice Test on the Saturday and an Open Test on the Sunday. These will be pre-entry events and details and an entry form will be available from the BASC website or by calling Gundog Department on 01244 573019, there will be limited numbers so apply early to be sure of a run.

There will be a £100 top prize, in each of these events along with trophies to keep and Chudleys dog food for the prize winners. The best open dog will also win the Chudleys Classic cup. A new and exciting element to this test will be ‘sim bird’, a series of combined remote dummy launchers and realistic sound designed by gundog gear to replicate a drive on a shoot.

The Monday will be ‘have a go day’, when anyone visiting with their dog will have opportunity to have a go and try the ‘sim bird’ test and experience. BASC will have gundog advisors available over the 3 days to give help and advice on all dog related matters and the Chudleys team will also be on hand to offer any nutritional advice providing samples and information leaflets.
