The Lincolnshire Area of the United Retriever Club held novice and veteran working tests at Nettleton Woods, Caistor, by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Gibbons.
Nettleton Woods provided plenty of scope for chief steward Ted Fitzjohn to set up interesting and testing retrieves.
Luckily, the weather was good as there were 40 dogs to put through their paces.
Judges Sue Lowe, Richard King, Mick Roberts and Malcolm Thwaites put 15 dogs through to the afternoon.
A long blind with a distraction and a long mark proved good at separating the competitors and the judges soon had their result.
