Central Scotland Gundog Club

Welcome to the web home of the Central Scotland Gundog Club.
Our club was formed in 2011 with the aim of providing comprehensive training for our members and their dogs. We welcome newcomers to the world of field sports and ‘old hands’ alike, and recognise that we can all better the standard of our handling of dogs in the field.

In addition to offering gundog training, Central Scotland Gundog Club offers working tests under Kennel Club rules. These events will run throughout the year and cater for spaniels, retrievers and HPRs. While principally for members, we are also pleased to welcome non-members to our training events, depending on availability of spaces.

A Word from the Chairman...

Central Scotland Gundog Club was conceived through the requirement and demand for training gundogs. The Club has at the heart and in it’s constitution to fulfil this to existing and new members.

The current structure and office bearers of the club are as resolute to delivering this same standard as we enter our first year with history and a membership of which we can grow and build upon. We are still in infancy regarding committed sponsorships from the market place, but we have proved in our first year that we are a club that is viable. The key achievement in our first year is gaining Kennel Club approval - this means that we can hold Gun Dog Working Tests under KC Rules and Regulations and is the first step towards applying to hold a Field Trial. The full registration process can take 3 years, during which we need to demonstrate that we can deliver the Working Tests and training to a satisfactory standard. It is very gratifying to have achieved approval in our first year and is testament to the quality of training, the professionalism of my Committee in delivering events and recommendation from supporters such as David Lisett, (Buccleuch Sporting) who endorsed our application.
