North Tipp Working Gundog Club – Training Class 2018
The Committee would like to thank Mick Walsh Hollydrive Spaniels and Paul O’Brien Corrib Gundogs for giving up their time to come to share their knowledge with everyone who attended our Training Class today, which was run in association with Country Sports Ireland. It was run in a very relaxed atmosphere on the ground which we had used the week previous for our Working Test at Snugsborough, Shinrone, Co.Offaly by very kind permission of the landowner Mr. Alan Loughnane.
The Class was a very informative hands on day with plenty of questions from the handlers and tips given in return by Mick and Paul, both of who also treated us to demonstrations with their own dogs.
We would like to thank Alan Loughnane for the use of his land and David McLoughlin Wingfielding who helped the Club to get the use of the land.
A special word of thanks to the handlers who came to support us and were more than willing to pick up some tips along the way.
