Jixenwell Gundog Scurries
Come and test your dog’s retrieving skills at the Jixenwell Gundog Scurries, a fun and friendly competition open to dogs of all abilities.
With a range of events designed for everyone from complete beginners to experienced competitors, the scurries are a great opportunity to challenge your dog and enjoy some fast-paced action in the arena.
Each event is run across different levels so newcomers and seasoned competitors can take part.
There is also a Non-Gundog class, meaning all breeds are welcome to come and have a go.
Alongside the main scurry events, competitors can also enter the Jixenwell Challenge Qualifier and Daily Challenge. These competitions are designed to bridge the gap between traditional scurries and working tests, creating a slightly more technical retrieving challenge while still keeping the events fun and entertaining for both competitors and spectators.
Come and watch the action or have a go with your own dog.
