Common misunderstanding in dog showing is that you need to have pedigree dog to show him. That is not true. For pedigree dog shows only pedigree dogs can be entered – true,  BUT… there is plenty of companion dog shows around with novelty classes, where you can enter even your 12-year-old crossbreed on the day of the event! And there is really not necessary to go to the dog groomer before.. it is for fun, so enjoy it!

Variety of Scurries

Scurries (source: The Gundog Club website)

Gundog Scurries are usually a test of speed. As long as the dog obeys the general rules of the test, the fastest dog wins. However, they are also a test of control, obedience and training and of the ability of the dog to use its initiative.

Scurry – The dog has to retrieve two marked (seen) dummies. The dummy thrower attracts the dogs attention and throws each dummy into a prescribed area. The dog is sent and has to bring one of the dummies back to the handler who is waiting within a designated area i.e. behind a line, before repeating the process for the second dummy.

Pick and Mix – The dog has to retrieve a specified number of marked and concealed dummies (usually two marked and two out of three blinds). The handler is told where the unseen dummies are hidden. Again, the dog has to bring the dummies back to the handler within the marked out area.

There are a number of variations on this theme which may include retrieving from water or from within partridge pens (involving a low jump over a fence in and out of the pen) or with the temptation of a “bolting rabbit” (a dummy on a piece of elastic) crossing the path of the dog on the way out, or on the return.

Steeplechase – The dog has to retrieve a dummy thrown at the end of a row of jumps (usually straw bales with a barrier either side to create a “race”). Usually the dummy is dropped into the end “compartment” but sometimes two dummies are thrown into two different compartments. If the dog collects the first dummy from the nearest compartment, it has to go beyond that point to the next compartment on the second run and not waste time looking where it found the first dummy.

Bulldog – Usually a single straight long retrieve fired from a dummy launcher. Variations can include two dummies to retrieve and brash (a heap of leafy branches) to be negotiated on the way to the dummy (which most spaniels will want to stop and search!)

Other tests include a greater measure of control and require the dog to be handled on to the retrieve. For example, snooker or a clockface, which requires the dog to retrieve dummies in a prescribed order from amongst other dummies.

Sometimes a mock test is included where the dog has to perform a number of exercises, walking closely to heel, recovering a memory retrieve, retrieving a blind with a distraction such as gunshot and another dummy thrown across the path of the returning dog.

Often a dog and gun test also appears on the programme where the dog has to remain steady whilst the handler attempts to hit a number of clays and then the dog is sent to retrieve dummies.
