**** Working Flatcoated Retriever Development Programme Training (WFRDP) ****
Some of our members have now completed the foundation level of the Flatcoated Retriever Society's 'Working Flatcoated Retriever Development Programme' (link here). This programme is designed to encourage owners to train their dogs for gundog work.
Pictured from left to right are Peter Howson with Kenzie, Beth Kirkpatrick with Jasper, Lindsay Kinnaird with Nuis and Kirsten McLeod with Scully.
Special Thanks has to go to gundog trainer Steve Leach of Lammermuir Gundogs near Duns in the Scottish Borders for his patience and humour in helping our members to achieve the requirements for the Foundation Level.
If you are interested in joining one of our training groups and working towards this certificate, please contact Lindsay Kinnaird.
