ABK Gundog Scurry Competitions

Something new & fun this year!!!! Introducing: ABK Gundog Scurry Competitions!
(If you know of anyone/person/club that would like to host a scurry event let me know! Anyone can host an event, and they make great fundraisers for clubs!).
These are super fun retrieving competitions (open to all breeds and mixed breeds) that are based on time (and a side competition based on breed)!
They are fairly relaxed, have a great social atmosphere, and are a great way for anyone and their dog to "give it a go!"
