| BAJ ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD (Main/Limited/Associate Registered Dogs) For
gundogs competing in Gundog Working Tests conducted by the Palmerston
Gundog Club in the NT. The award is to encourage gundogs to
compete in Gundog Working Tests and the Club to hold as many of these
tests as possible during the year.
1 | It is
only for GWTs conducted by the Palmerston Gundog Club (or its successor) and
held in the Northern Territory. | 2 | The
award is open to any purebred gundog as defined by the Palmerston Gundog Club,
ie. associate registered gundogs are eligible. | 3 | The
determination of whether a gundog is a purebreed but who does not have papers,
should be determined by the rules prevailing at the time, as set by either the
ANKC, Dogs NT (NACA) or the Club – in that order.
The club currently has in place a mechanism approved by Dogs NT (NACA)
to classify purebred gundogs as “associate Gundogs” for the purpose of
competing in the Gundog Working Tests. | 4 | If a
person has won the award with an Associate Gundog, and notwithstanding any
other Associate Gundogs owned by them at that present time, any further
purebred gundogs must be registered by the ANKC/NACA. (ie any person who
enters their first GWT and enters with an Assoc. Gundog, only associate gundogs
owned by them at that time (the time of the trial) can be eligible for
points. Any subsequent gundogs that they purchase after first entering a
GWT must be gundogs, registered by the ANKC/NACA. This is so that people
who may currently own one or more associate gundogs can run them in the GWT and
be eligible to receive points BUT that any future dogs owned by them must be
fully registered gundogs in order to be eligible for any points). | Awarding of points Points to be awarded to qualifying dogs only as follows:
1st place | 4 pts | | | 2nd place | 3 pts | | | 3rd place | 2 pts | | | All others that pass the GWT but not receive a placing as above - 1 point. The points are to be the same regardless of whether the dog is competing at the Novice or Open level. | |

Criteria for Gundog Working Tests (GWT) in the Northern Territory
They
are not a national title although the rules are uniform nationally (now
with minor differences between the states), and the Tests themselves
are a domestic issue, with approved judges coming from within the group
of Retrieving Judges.
The objectives of the GWT are:
- to introduce Retrieving to gundog owners;
- to allow Retrieving basics to be taught under easy conditions;
- to allow handlers to improve control performance; and
- to allow gundogs to experience their natural instincts.
As
the number of gundogs competing in the field has a suffered a downturn
in recent times, some of the states have relaxed the "eligibility" to
include dogs which appear to be gundogs, but for whatever reason are
not on either the Main or Limited Registers.
The North
Australian Canine Association (DogsNT) has approved the submission put
by our Club in 2008 that any "registered associate dog" which is
considered by the three person panel appointed by our committee (of
which ar least one member must be a Group 3 Judge) as complying woth
the ANKC standard for that particular breed, can be classed as an
"Associate Gundog" and may compete in GWT in the NT.
Application for dogs to be classified as Associate Registered Gundogs can be arranged through contacting the Club Secretary.

Club held its
inaugural GWT in October 2008 - Click for photos
