The World of Dogs is a dedicated area for every dog lover. With arena displays, fun dog shows, multi scurry and chase the bunny there is plenty for your dog to take part in and enjoy!

Gundog Multi-scurry

Gundog Multi-Scurry

Another have-go-opportunity for the family dog.  This section of the show will be run by jixenwell gundogs with a selection of multi scurries.

The Gundog Scurry at the Living Heritage Game and Country Fairs will be an opportunity for each and every person to come along with their dog and have a go! Each day of the event James and Davina will be running a number of events for you to come along and enter on the day. For those people wishing to have a bit of a challenge, the events will be timed and split into 3 categories of Junior Handler, Novice and Open. Prizes will be available for the top 3 times, but also there will be bonus prizes available for those people who are brand new to the Gundog World.

Maplecrest Gundogs

Gun Dog Clinic

Charlotte Brown of Maplecrest Gundogs works her dogs on various shoots in North Yorkshire and offers one to one tuition to suit individual needs; whether that be to compete with your dogs, train them for the shooting field, or just to enjoy seeing a pet gundog fulfilling their potential.

Maplecrest also offer residential training to give dogs a head start in their training, or just to polish up their training while you are on holiday!

At the Gundog Clinics at the Living Heritage Fairs, Charlotte will be happy to offer advice as to how to start the training process with your pet gundog, or advice on any specific issues you are having with your training.

Working Test

Working Test

It will be run by RTB Gundog Training & Events as come and have a go at a Working Test.

  1. There will be 2 covers with dummies in, the owner will give a left or right directional command and then the appropriate dummy will be retrieved. The dog must deliver to hand.
  2. There will be a water retrieve. This will involve a dummy fired out of an auto dummy launcher, the dog will retrieve the dummy out of water and must not shake before the dummy is in the owner’s hand.
  3. There will be a blind retrieve. (RTB will tell the owner as to which dummy to go for.) The dog must deliver to hand.
  4. There will be a stop to shot with a seen retrieve. This will involve a shot being fired with a starting pistol. The owner will stop their dog on the way out to retrieve, then instruct the dog to go back to retrieve the dummy. Deliver to hand.

Lurchers

Lure Crazy will be attending all of our Game and Country Fairs and will be holding both Lurcher Racing and Lurcher Showing at each event. Look out for the Greyhound Racing at selected shows.

Please note we only hold events for Whippets on the first day of every show

Chase the Bunny

If your dog loves to chase this could be their moment!  Dogs are matched to general size and speed and race to chase the lure around the arena.  Great fun to both take part in and to watch – especially when the dogs run in completely the opposite direction, or find a more interesting smell. 

Individual Minor Breeds

We have a variety of minor breeds, from Manchester terriers through Australian terriers, Otterhounds and Lancashire Heelers to name but a few. Come and meet some of these lesser known breeds; make a new friend and ask their expert and enthusiastic handlers any questions you might have.
