Located in the very heart of the beautiful Test Valley in Hampshire, we are a group of HPR enthusiasts who meet on the first Sunday of each month at our very own training ground in Awbridge near Romsey.
HPRs of any age and handlers of any standard are welcome. During the summer we practice for working tests, have a summer BBQ and a water training day. During the shooting season we practice for field trials and hold at least two shoot-over days for our members and also the now legendary Christmas training day and meal !
What ever your goal we`d love to see you !!!
For directions please see the Club Days & Location Page or click on the Email icon at the top of this page.

We are very pleased to announce that our 2019 Working Test, sponsored by RED MILLS ENGAGE will be on Saturday 22nd June.
We`ve had great support from the Kennel Club which has enabled us not only to go ahead with a test this year but also be at a brand new location - just outside of Dunbridge in the Test Valley (5 mins drive from our Awbridge training ground)
We would particularly welcome any offers of help from anyone not competing who would like to be a steward or a dummy thrower.

Test Valley HPR would like to wish Patrick and Vanessa many congratulations now they are Mr & Mrs Head. Excellent to see that even in the middle of their wedding the dogs still get a walk !!!
Club Day Sunday 3rd February
Well that went better than we ever expected !!
Our first club day saw -5 Centigrade with a light dusting of snow but we still managed split retrieves, seens, blinds and a dummy launcher to test steadiness. The "Try a shotgun" area for anyone who hasn`t handled one before proved very popular.
Happy Members - Happy Committee !!
