German Longhaired Pointer Club

German Longhaired Pointer Club events are sponsored by Roger Skinner, Ltd

Field Trials

The Club holds Field Trials, licensed by The Kennel Club, at various locations around the country each year. Many of them are open to all the Hunt, Point, and Retrieve breeds of dog. A schedule listing the trials is published on the Membership/Forms page in June or July each year. Entry forms and the Club Standing Instructions may be found on the same page.

Pointing Tests

Pointing Tests are normally held each spring. Results of these events can be seen on the Results Page. For details of forthcoming tests, please see the pointing test schedule.  To download an entry form and see further details please go to the Membership/Forms Page.

Working Test

A Working test is arranged every year on the second weekend in July at Gill Mill, Ducklington Oxfordshire. Results of this event, when posted, can be seen on the Results page. For downloadable details and an entry from please go the Membership/Forms Page.

Training Days

The Club arranges one or two training days each October, depending on demand, for those members who wish to put the finishing touches to their dogs under field trial conditions. Entry is open to all members, though preference is given to GLP’s. Helpful instructors are on hand each day to give advice as necessary. These days are not a competition and dogs will not be eliminated. Handlers can expect a number of runs and up to two birds shot over their dogs.  Details will be posted both here, on the Membership/Forms page,  and in the Newsletter, inviting members to attend

Seminar

From time to time the Club runs a seminar on a topic related to German Longhaired Pointers.  Details are posted both here and on the Membership/Forms page.

The C.L.A. Game Fair

The C.L.A. Game Fair is held annually in July or August every year in different locations around the country. The German Longhaired Pointer Club is asked to attend with dogs to take part in the Parade of Sporting Dogs. David Tomlinson provides the commentary. Please contact the Secretary if you can spare half a day with your dog to be there and talk to people interested in the breed. Of course, helpers get free access to the Fair!

Discover Dogs

Discover Dogs is run by the Kennel Club to give people the opportunity to see every breed of dog that is registered with the Kennel Club.

German Longhaired Pointers can be seen at Crufts at The N.E.C. Birmingham in March and at Earls Court, in London in November. Volunteers to man the stand are always welcome, so again, please contact the Secretary if you can help your Club by being there.
