Pet & Working Gundog Organisation
Introduction to the Working Gundog Certificate
An introduction for Organisers, Assessors and Participants
The WGC is open to all Kennel Club registered gundogs and their handlers. It is
not a competition, but each handler/dog partnership is assessed against a set of
criteria which is set down in the handbook.
The Aim
The aim of the Working Gundog Certificate (WGC) is to provide credible proof that
the handler and dog are a competent partnership, with the qualities to fulfil the
general requirements of work on a shoot.
