RETRIEVING AUSTRALIA FORUM

Hi all,

I have an 11month old Brittany and would like to get him into retrieving. I have been reading with interest many of your posts on this site. Would like some advice about how to get started into retrieving.
It would see that most of the clubs are situated in Vic or WA. I am situated in Sydney. Is there anyone in or around Sydney that does retrieval training. Would be prepared to travel if required.
I am about to get my hands on a 'Dokken dead fowl trainer'. Will trial the Brittany at the local park and see how he goes.
Looking farward to your responses,

Many thanks,
Bill....

PS: Is 11months to early to begin an interest in retrieving?

Hi Bill,

Welcome to the fraternity. I am from Melbourne but there certainly are triallers in the Sydney area so I am sure that someone will post to give you some help in that area. 11 months is certainly not too young, 8 weeks is when the training starts! Good luck.

Hi there Bill
I hold training days/weekends at my place in the Taree area please phone 0427507567 65924760 [work] 65507554[home]

G'day Bill.
Always good to hear someone else is getting their Britt into retrieving.
I've had Britts for about 25+ years now & been trialing em on & off for about the past 15 years now.
Pop me an email at ozbritt3@bigpond.com.au & I might be able to pass on a little info that's helped me over the years.
Probably a bit much for posting here.
catch ya.
