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 !

February Club Day
Novices Shoot Over Day
13th January saw our very first "novices" shootover day at Hawkhurst in Kent courtesy of Mr Fran Briley.
The weather was particularly kind with the dogs & handlers working extremely well under the guidance of Fran, Andrea and Christine.
Birds came at a steady rate all day........ occasionally giving the guns some "challenging" shots !
The "dog of the day" prize went to Katie Mason - many many congratulations !!
Lots of smiles and wagging tails ............... and then we went to the pub !!!

December Shootover Day
Absolutely fantastic shootover day held at Hawkhurst by kind permission of Gamekeeper Fran Briley.
Very cold to start to the day and the game were running FAST and keeping ahead of the dogs in the fields but as the day progressed they started to be found and downed by the guns.
Lots to learn, lots of crop and woods worked by the dogs who handled a lovely bunch of people.
Dog of the day was Boris who expertly handled Jim Ayling into position all day !
