Report from
Charles Dixon on Assessments held on 19th May 2013
The SEWSSC held its annual Working Assessment for
spaniels (excluding ESS and Cockers) at Ashmere Farm,
Meopham, Kent, on Sunday 19th May 2013. This was a new venue for the assessment, and
as this was the site of a shoot in the winter months there was enough scent to
get the dogs nicely interested. The event, sponsored by Masters Dog Foods,
enjoyed lovely weather and there were no absentees.
21 dogs were entered in four classes, judged by Mary
Evans (Sycharth WSS) and Sandy White (Fiergen WSS). The
results were as follows:
