The members of BASC, its staff and Council extend their deepest condolences to the Royal Family following the death of Her Majesty The Queen this afternoon, 8 September 2022.
Her Majesty was a passionate supporter of the countryside and conservation. She loved her gundogs and enjoyed many days working them in the field throughout her life.
Her dogs rose to success in competition over the years winning Field Trial Championships and most recently, the Kennel Club Cocker Spaniel Championships 2022.
Her Majesty’s dedication to this country set her apart from all others. She will be sorely missed.
