Irish Sporting Dog Demonstration - Wednesday, September 20th
In the days when Adare Manor was a private country estate, hunting season was one of the most important social events of the year. The game keeper would have kept a pack of highly trained gun dogs to assist in finding and retrieving game. Adare Manor’s trainer will demonstrate their important role with our beautiful and eloquently trained Irish Labradors. In this charming activity you will watch Labradors display their varied levels of training, incorporating obedience, agility, marking, water work and ability to work as part of a team of trained dogs. You will also learn how to handle these wonderful dogs yourself. **Comfortable shoes and a jacket are recommended.
