Field Trials are of special value to breeders for the selection of working strains of gundogs, to shooters looking for the right type of dog with working ability, and to handlers wishing to gain experience in the handling of their dogs.

The purpose of Field Trials is to test dogs for their suitability as gundogs. The judge's task is the assessment of the dogs proficiency at work. A Working Test is a meeting for the purposes of holding competitions of a minor nature for working dogs.

Officials and competitors should make themselves familiar with the Field Trial rules issued by the respective Kennel Clubs, and insure that trials are efficiently run and are enjoyable and sporting occasions.

Any inexperienced handlers will need encouragement and clear instruction from Judges. Each dog should be given every opportunity to show his working ability.
