About

History we began in 1972 when Spaniels inspired the formation of the club.

The Bristol and West Working Gundog Society promotes and encourages the training of gundogs to work in the field, to compete in Gundog Working Tests and Field trials.

We have three sections:
Hunt Point Retrievers -HPRs
Spaniels
Retrievers

We Organize: Field Trials - Gundog Working Tests - Pointing Tests - Training Days

Hunt Point Retrievers:

We are one of a relatively few gundog societies in the region with a section specifically for HPRs. We run Field Trials, Pointing Tests, and Gundog Working Tests and have expert trainers who are well known in our sport and who specialise in these breeds and are proud to host several events throughout the year.

Whatever breed of Spaniel you have you are sure to find opportunity with us. Training is provided by coaches well-known and experienced in the field trial world. Click here
