Health Seminar

Our neighbours NEFRA (Northern England Flatcoat Retriever Association) have organised a health seminar. It will be held the day after the Gundog Breeds of Scotland championship show, giving some people in the south two good reasons for traveling north. The venue is the Pennine Manor Hotel, near Junction 23 of the M62 to enable flat coated retriever owners from across the north of England to attend. For more details click here.
