The Retrieving Club of W.A. held their first Novice and Restricted stakes for the year on Sunday April 18th. The site of Upper Swan has a huge amount of cover and good pools of water in the river, but with the weather being so hot, it was an uncomfortable day, and people were ever vigilant for the deadly tiger snakes and dugites found in the area. The runs were quite difficult in Novice, with the haphazard terrain hindering some dogs. The Restricted was at the highest level for this stake, ending in inevitable results from inexperienced dogs.
