Kennel Club Working Gundog CertificateThe Kennel Club Working Gundog CertificateThe Brittany Club wishes to promote this Certificate and will be arranging training sessions aimed towards achieving this award. The aim of the WGC is to provide credible proof that a handler and dog are a competent partnership, with the qualities to fulfil the general requirements of work on a shoot.’ The Kennel Club’s Working Gundog Certificate is open to all registered working gundogs and their handlers. The certificate comprises two parts (preliminary and secondary stages), each of which must be successfully completed before the WGC is awarded. Participants are not in competition with each other and each handler/dog partnership is assessed, for each part of the certificate, against a set of criteria. The criteria are laid down as minimum standards of good practice and the levels of training necessary, so that handler and dog can show they could be an asset to any shoot and will not interfere with the well being of other people, dogs or livestock.
