SIWSC_CLA_demo

The SIWSC demonstration on all three days of the CLA gamefair, Ragley Hall, in 2010 was a very quick overview of the stages involved in training an IWS to be a competent retriever.
Starting with basic obedience, heel walking and recalls and then progressing through handling skills and various types of retrieve, the demonstration was intended to show what a capable gundog the IWS can be.

Our thanks go to all of our members who helped with the demonstrations, manned the IWS booth in the Sporting dog Pavillion and looked after the puppies back at base camp.
