Gundog Retriever Test & Scurry

When experience counts

This is and event for more experienced Gundogs The Working Gundog Retriever Test & Scurry. It's a competitive event with demanding courses to complete. Courses that test your dogs skill, ability and endurance.

The Gundog, Retrieve Test & Scurry at Sandringham is being run by Mr Bill Meldrum, a former Sandringham Estate keeper.  

In his 20 years of service to HM The Queen Bill Meldrum produced seven field trial champions from the royal kennels. It’s not every day that you receive an invitation from HM The Queen to become her gundog trainer, and it’s probably even rarer that such an invitation should initially be turned down.

Mr Meldrum fulfilled The Queen’s ambition to own a field trial champion several times. When Bill arrived at Sandringham, there were 37 dogs in the kennels — almost all black Labradors. “My father said to me just before I came here, ‘They’re the Queen’s dogs, don’t tell the Queen what’s wrong with them. Just go there and train her dogs.’

Gundog Retriever Test & Scurry will be appearing at the following shows:
