Dog theft and lost dogs
UK dog theft has been on the rise for several years and was particularly prevalent during the Covid-19 lockdowns.

Scurries
Scurries come in all shapes and sizes but the aim of them is always the same, for a dog to retrieve a dummy in the quickest time possible.
Scurries range from a straightforward marked dummy to more challenging exercises such as the ‘pick & mix’, where only certain dummies should be picked and some even have a distraction element.
These exercises provide fun for both the handler and dog whilst also testing your dog’s abilities in the atmosphere of a gundog competition.
BASC scurry events are kindly sponsored by Skinner's and Sporting Saint
You can find BASC scurry events at shows and game fairs all over the country. We also run regular gundog training and husbandry events, open to both members of BASC and non-members.

Microchipping
Microchipping is compulsory for all dogs over 8 weeks old in the UK and any owners whose dog is discovered not to be microchipped face criminal prosecution and a £500 fine.
Gundog code of practice
BASC strongly recommends that anyone who goes shooting should be accompanied by a trained and competent gundog.
