The HPR Group

The HPR Group, loosely based in Northern England and North Wales, is a group of HPR enthusiasts that promotes the training and development of HPR gundogs for use in the shooting field. We work our dogs during the shooting season across the region and we perform grouse and partridge counting for several national groups as well as shoot owners and organizations involved in Moorland regeneration. Our members compete in Field Trials, Pointing Tests and Working Tests to test our dogs working ability. We are developing the HPR Group web site as a means of communicating our interest and knowledge of HPR's to the wider gundog and shooting community.
