SEGS run a number of Working Tests during the Summer
months for Puppies, Novice and Open standard dogs with
each one testing the level of training of the dogs.

These popular Tests are set up to replicate, in so far as is
possible, the type of situation which dog and handler may experience
on a typical shooting day, although no live game is used.

ENTRY FEE FOR ALL WORKING TESTS IS £8 (SEGS MEMBERS ONLY)

ALL TESTS ARE UNLIMITED ENTRY
