KENNEL CLUBS

Dominion Gun Dog Trial Association

Seven breeds – English Setters, Gordon Setters, Irish Setters, Pointers, German Shorthaired Pointers, Retrievers, and Spaniels – are classed as gun dogs and a separate national body superintends the 14 clubs specialising in these. This is the Dominion Gun Dog Trial Association, which was formed in Christchurch in 1935. Although the Association is represented on the Kennel Club's executive, it is fully autonomous, and conducts its own competitions and national championships.
