It is a pleasure to share the company of a dog when stalking deer, but our four-legged friends are far from nice-to-have accessories, says Rod Greenwood.

Gundog Day kicks off Crufts 2023 tomorrow, with BASC’s gamekeeper rings hosting 20 classes for working dogs at the world’s biggest dog show.

Martin Puddifer takes a closer look at non-traditional gundogs that are every bit as successful as the more common known ones.

The classes, which are open to gamekeepers, owners of working gundogs, gundog teams and young handlers will be held on Thursday 9 March 2023.

Victoria Chesters talks about the many firsts at the opening of this year’s partridge season in company of her new gundog-(still)-in-training, Walter.

It was the first time the Weston Park Country Fair has been held since 2019 due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Labradors and spaniels might often steal the limelight, but pointers, setters and HPRs fill an important niche among our working breeds, as Martin Puddifer reveals.

The BASC Scurry League returns this weekend at the Kelmarsh Show, which takes place on Easter Sunday and Monday.
