The course is set by the judge. There is no pause between exercises - you and your dog work briskly through the course without direction from the judge. You are encouraged to talk to and praise your dog during the performance. Any dog can get involved. https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/activities/rally/ for an entry form contact the Secretary or download from www.taransayprint.co.uk SHOW THEM AT THEIR BEST You nurture champions, we enhance their glory.

Prior to that I was involved in Irish Setters. I have also owned English Setters. As well as showing Gordons I have also competed in Agility. I have been judging since 2013 as and am on the Gordon Setter B List. Joanne McDonald (Marronoir) My family have always had dogs. For my sixteenth birthday I received my first Labrador show dog, who taught me so much more than I him, and I was hooked. I have had some excellent wins at shows including CC, RCC (at Crufts) BOB (Champ) , Crufts first places and numerous BOB and Groups at Open Show level. I am on the Labrador Breed Council Judges B List. Mrs Karen M. Marsh (Kilnrae) I have shown Gundogs for 27 years and have bred 8 UK and European Show Champion Gordon Setters and 1 German Shorthaired Pointer who was awarded Group 2 at Crufts. Many more of my dogs have been awarded RCCs and Stud Book Numbers. I award CCs in both of my breeds and have judged the majority of gundogs at Open Show level. Mr R. Mosedale (Knightsbay) I started in dogs with my late mother Val Mosedale in the late 70’s with Gordon Setters, which were quickly followed by a German Wirehaired Pointer from the Bareve Kennel who was shown lightly with some success. It was my first encounter with Field Spaniels at an Open Show at Stafford County Showground that meant my heart was sold. I was lucky enough to have my first Field Spaniel in 1988 namely Ch Parkanine Pioneer of Dubldee (to date he is still the Top Full Champion in the breed). In both Gordon Setters and Field Spaniels, we have had Show Champions, Full Champions and CCs & RCC winners and also Field Trial winners. I currently have a Champion Pointer as well as a Sussex Spaniel and Rhodesian Ridgebacks all with RCCs and Stud Book numbers which are co-owned with Sharon Rossiter (Sonstraal). I also own an old Hungarian Vizsla. My judging career started in 1991 judging Gordon Setters at Hampshire Gundog Limited Show and Field Spaniels a little later. I was pleased to award CCs in Gordon Setters in 1999 and Field Spaniels in 2001 and I am now currently passed to award CCs in 12 Gundog Breeds over 4 of the Sub Groups (Setters & Pointers, Spaniels, HPR’s and Retrievers), also passed for the Gundog Group at Championship Show Level. I have also judged in Holland, Ireland and across the UK, and am looking forward to a trip to Finland next year. Had the privilege to Judge at Crufts 2018 doing Field Spaniels. I am also keen for dogs to be worked and I am a non-panel Field Trial judge for Spaniels. My interests have not stopped there. I am a strong believer in what you take out from the dog showing scene you should put back into the world of dogs. With this in mind, over the years I have helped to run Fun Dog Shows, Companionship Dog Shows, Scurries etc. I have served as a committee member and life member of the British Gordon Setter Club and have served a three-year term. I was on the Field Spaniel Society committee for 6 years and was Field Trial Secretary for 3 years. I have also been Secretary of two canine clubs for 15 years and was on Midland Counties Canine Society for 20 years as committee member and Show Manager. I am now on the committee of City of Birmingham Canine Society where I am presently acting as Chief Steward. I am also the Secretary of The Setter & Pointer Club. I have been a Group Steward for Crufts Dog Show for a number of years and have been a KC member since 2003. Ros Smith (Rosgar) I had my first Golden Retriever in 1980, she was the beginning of my love for Goldens.
