Trust a 'limited company' not an Association or

course with the Gundog Club, will this affect me?
No, the birth of this new
organisation will not alter your progression through

Trust?

pedigree papers.
My gundog is of 'show'
breeding, will I be excluded from awards?
No, any gundog whose owner
wishes to become involved with gundog training in
any way, will be welcome to take part in the Graded
