Seal settling in quite happily to her maternity suite. She's sired by Jess King Broccoli, now in Australia. Pups are sired by my own Lignum Bruno.

Lady (Mable x Joe 2024 litter) progressing well through her training.

🐾 **A fantastic weekend in the Yorkshire Dales!** 🐾

A huge congratulations to three of our teams who successfully achieved their **Stage 1 passes**! 🎉👏

To pass this stage the dog must show a reliable indication at a hidden person. Barking at the handler and then shuttling between the hidden person and the handler.

💛**Matt & Trainee Search Dog Sniff**
🧡 **Carl & Trainee Search Dog Lady**
🤍 **Brian & Trainee Search Dog Swift**

All their hard work, training and dedication is really starting to show. These passes are a fantastic milestone on their journey towards becoming operational search teams. 🐕‍🦺🔍

A massive well done to the handlers, the dogs and everyone who has supported them along the way. We’re incredibly proud of you all! ❤️

**Keep training, keep learning and keep sniffing!** 🐾

Day out at Nutter dogs Agility 4 All show yesterday.

Seal hadn't been since last summer. Came home with 2 firsts and a third for Seal, out of four runs with her over-exuberant enthusiasm and need for speed winning over accuracy/carefulness!

Bruno was a little green in his first run, and some slow handling from me in his 3rd class meant he fell for the judges booby-trap, but he finished second and sixth, two placings out of four is a great foundation to build on.
