Korthals Griffon Club Spring Pointing Test
The Korthals Griffon Club held their Spring Pointing Test at Catton Hall near Burton on Trent on 1st May 2010, working on Spring Wheat.
There were 16 dogs running & Ingrid Moyser’s Sanjika Abbracci (Flyn) pointed & flushed partridge and was graded “ Very Good”. Rob & Sue Blacker-Kyle’s Lucoru Midnight Jet (Jago) was the only junior in the awards, hunting & pointing partridge and was graded “Good”. The only other 2 dogs graded were GSPs, so an excellent day for the Spins, well done!

The 2023 I.S.C.G.B Spinone Health survey is now available for people to complete.
Please complete for all dogs born after 01/01/2010 whether or not they have any health conditions.
Please follow the link below:
To help build the information in our health database we are creating some speedy surveys. They take no longer than 30 seconds to complete and are open for any Spinone, anywhere in the world, living or deceased. Results will be added to the online health database at www.hudsonspinone.co.uk.
It has been drawn to my attention that there are three new Country/Game Fairs in the calendar this year.
In order to build up my bank of working Spinoni owners, and in anticipation of the organisers putting on gundog parades and/or gundog breed displays, I am asking for volunteers to represent Italian Spinoni at these events.
Welcome to the North West Spinone Training Group Page on the ISCGB website.
This Group was set up in early 2016 as a result of a passion of mine to have a local training group specifically for Spinone and following discussions with the clubs Field Trial secretary, which lead to it being supported by the ISCGB Committee. The background to the reasons for my passion for such a group to exist can be found in two articles, the links of which can be found below if you are interested.
