Step Two in Getting Started:  Know your category

The Gundog Club offers training in three* different categories

  • Retriever

  • Spaniel

  • HPR

You need to know which category your dog belongs to.  You can find a list of gundog breeds grouped in their categories here: Is my dog a gundog?

If your dog is of mixed parentage,  you will need to decide which category to train in.   Read about the categories...

 

Pointers and Setters: Please note that (English) pointers and setters are not included in this scheme at present.  None of the three categories we offer is suitable for pointers or setters intended for Field Trails.   If your dog is a pointer or setter, and you are hoping to compete in Field Trials in the future,  you should not attempt to teach your dog to retrieve.  However,  if your pointer or setter is a pet/companion, and he likes to retrieve,  you and he will almost certainly enjoy, and benefit from, training in the HPR category
