Rufriver Charity Working Test in aid of Prostate Cancer.



Massive congratulations to Allie and Toby from Rufriver Gundogs for putting on this fabulous Open Team Event to raise funds for Prostate Cancer.

10 Teams of 3 dogs and all at "Open" standard meant that nothing was going to be easy.

The event was held amongst the rolling hills of Oxfordshire on the Swinbrook Estate and what a beautiful setting .. a little slice of heaven. 

The sun refused to shine but at least we didn't get wet. 

An "up and over" ... proved a little too much for some as they found their way under the fence ...



Smiles and joviality all round kept the Judges happy, the photographers amused and everyone in good spirits.
...and then there were the "golden dummies" ... so clearly visible but with some swirling winds an challenge to actually pick... 

A fantastic spread of tea and cakes was laid on by the our hosts and some very generous helpers and together with the lots donated for the Charity auction the day ended a complete success with a total in excess of £2,000 for this worthy cause.

THE RESULTS 

1st - TOYS R US: Pip Williams and Mango, Dan Higgs with Falcon and Tracy Flood with Willow.

2nd: THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY: Mike Brown with Bertie, Nick Jordan with Lottie and Basil Smith with Reed.

3rd: THE WELSH EXILES: Simon Hagin with Emmy, Richard Edwards with Sid and Andy Fisher with Trigger.

Best Team Name: Keep Calm and Drop Your Pants! Philly Pinn, Sean McGrath and Beth Payne
