IGL Retriever Championships 2021
The lovely ground at the Ampton Shoot was the setting for the 2021 IGL Retriever Championships by kind permission of the Turner family and invitation of Peter and Charles Rushbrook of Boxtree Games Supplies Limited. 54 dogs qualified but as Mark Demaine was one of the judges his dog FT Ch Breckmarsh Ethan of Caytonfell did not compete and one of the Irish competitors John Dawson with Balleyvalley Riley was also absent. Of the 52 dogs running there were 3 Golden Retrievers ( 2 bitches and 1 dog) and 49 Labrador Retrievers, (11 bitches and 38 dogs). Last years winner FT Ch Miller McDuff was the oldest dog competing at 8 years of age and the youngest was Tyrrellison Jafar at just under 2 and a half.
