For dogs who hunt or retrieve
2016 The Gundog Agility League is now into its 11th year and we are hoping for more years to come our basis has always been to promote Gundog breeds and their crosses competing in agility and we hope that we still continue to do that. The League is open to any gundog breed as per the Kennel Club breed list, but we are not asking that the gundog needs to have an actual pedigree papers as we know many come via rescue centers, We also have a Gundog X league where all we ask is that the dog is part gundog breed. The League is open to all heights including dogs competing at standard height & can compete in KC shows, UKA or other unaffiliated shows. Our points systems works via on-line claims accessed via our web site www.gundog-agility.co.uk but we also accept postal claims as well, we also have an active Face Book page. 2016 membership is now open at £5 for the first dog & £1 per additional dog details are available on our website www.gundog-agility.co.uk or contact us via email: enquirey@gundog-agility.co.uk 2015 RESULTS Congratulations to the winners.

Well done to all that entered the 2014 league, Entries are now being taken for 2015. http://www.ukagility.com/Downloads/Gundogleague011014.pdf News, Statistics & Results Looking back over 2013, The Gundog Agility League had a very active year with new members joining the long-established League for Gundogs and their crosses. The idea for 2013-2014 is to reach more Gundog owners to offer them a variety of different ways to join together via a range of smaller Gundog Agility Leagues for handlers who may not compete at many, if any, Kennel Club shows, due height restrictions. UKA Standard, for instance, is a height that many of the heavier framed Gundogs find more comfortable. These smaller Show Series Leagues are to offer a way of an incentive to become more competitive in a more local way. To date we are running two Shows Leagues with:
Further to this idea, Gundog Agility have teamed up with UK Agility to provide an annual Gundog League for UKA members. The League will run throughout the year at all UKA shows, offering a range of heights including Standard. We hope this Leaguee will help fill the gap of Handlers who do not do KC shows. So far the take up on this League has been very encouraging with 76 handlers active on the League tables. We would like to extend the Smaller League into Scotland so if anyone is interested in helping put together a Show Series League, then please contact us. The final 2013 results can be seen below.

Published May 2012 Agility Training Days Announced The League has organised three agility training days for Gun Dogs with two top trainers - Nicola Garrett and Ian Dobison, that will be geared towards Gun Dogs that are near competing or are competing in agility. It will be open to all heights and will be offered in the first instance to Gundog League members and their Gun Dogs or Gun Dog Crosses. If places are not filled then they will be offered to non-members. The training days have been split across different venues to enable more Gundog League members to get the chance of meeting up with other League members. The training days are being held at two summer shows with the kind permission of Jackie Kenny from Dog Vegas and Rachel Rogers from Touch Agility Group (TAG). Lydia Critchlow from Dig It Dogs, has also supported the League with the use of their venue. These training days will be non-profit making and discount is being given to members. Non-members will pay full price.

Cost: Published May 2012 Sponsorship Secured CSJ have offered and are delighted to sponsor the Gundog League for 2012/2013. They are also kindly sponsoring the League rosettes and providing CSJ food for the winners, which, no doubt will be much appreciated since so many agility Gundogs are already fed on CSJ food.
Karen & Aljeana wish to thank Ceri from CSJ very much for this sponsorship. 2011 News and Results... About the League The Gundog Agility League is open to all KC acknowledged pedigree gun dog breeds with or without a formal set of pedigree paper so rescue gun dogs are more than welcome to join the full section of the league. We started last year a league for gundog crosses such as Sprockers. The aim of the League has been to promote Gundogs doing agility. We have our own logo that can be added to clothing of your choice and we also have a range of clothing available via either Waggitts or Agilitywear. We run at least one agility show a year which many of our members attend to support the annual awards presentation. The League has it's own web site www.gundog-agility.co.uk Details can be found on how to join and what league tables are available. Points can be gained from KC or Independent shows and we use the dog height measurement scales from KC and UKA with some choice of cross over between the two. As we are not an actual training club, we have used our shows to get together and have found that the response and atmosphere is always fantastic. We are looking into the possibility of holding some training days over the winter of 2012, using some well known top trainers again as a get together but also to promote Gundogs in agility. We are non-profit making and at the moment only have sponsorship from Tony Wild Camping so any further ideas on sponsorship would be great. Below are the League Winner results for 2011 . The presentations for the League will take place at the Annual Awards Agility show on the 26 February 2012.
