Welcome to the
Central Highlands Working Gundog Club
Welcome to the Central Highlands Working Gundog Club Inc. website. The Club was formed in 1992 to promote the natural working ability of Gundogs, and to assist their handlers in developing those abilities. We are open to anyone with an interest in working gundogs, and with a membership of more than 80 people who all have a keen interest in gundogs, there is always plenty of advice and assistance available to new members. We produce a bi-monthly newsletter, and run 3 retrieving trials each year. We also run field trials when game is available, which has been difficult in the current climate.
We are always happy to welcome new members to our club.
