The Highclere Game and Country Fair is one of the UK's leading events for working dogs and attracts a huge number of dog enthusiasts from across the country, including a comprehensive programme of events for both earth and running dogs.

Professionally organised and stewarded by the Coursing Crew, the Terrier and Lurcher events offer a complete weekend of field and showing classes and include everything from straight racing to simulated coursing. Along with providing a great family day out, this weekend's Highclere Game and Country Fair also proved hugely popular for dog enthusiasts and competitors too as visitors from across the country enjoyed some fantastic displays of what are some of the best field dogs in the world.

Chris Weaver, organiser of the Terrier and Lurcher events at Highclere says: “This year's Terrier and Lurcher displays have once again exceeded our expectations. We've enjoyed huge success over both days, with plenty of competitors and spectators providing a high level of interest and enthusiasm. With a new set of qualifiers also confirmed for the Terrier and Lurcher Champion of Champions, the Grand Final at the Midland Game Fair in September promises an event not to be missed!”

With all the action from the weekend providing some great viewing, the next rounds in the Terrier and Lurcher events at the Sussex Game and Country Fair will make superb viewing. If you have what it takes to excel in either the field or showing grounds, why not come along and get involve in some true championship action.

Here are the results from this weekend's Highclere Game and Country Fair …
