The Chiltern Gundog Training Club was formed originally in 1960 by a group of like minded amateurs who wanted to improve the ability of their working dogs, in a friendly group.

Meeting monthly they each shared their skills and this was the formation of a more structured club.

With the advent of shooting and working dogs attracting a wider community outside of the professional world, and the Kennel

Club registering events, the Club was made “official” and registered.

The Club went from strength to strength, prospering as a training club, offering tests and various events and then ran a novice field trial for Retrievers followed later by one for Spaniels

We first ran an open trial for retrievers, then spaniels and followed later with cocker spaniels making us one of the

very few clubs who are able to run open trials for three different breeds.

To better reflect this, the club became known as The Chiltern Gundog Society.

We have not lost our roots and still offer training classes throughout the year, we have also retained various working tests and fun events for enthusiastic individuals who wish to enjoy and work their dogs.
