Practice makes perfect 👌

A first for Tawny, she is used to carry all sorts of sized stuff at home but the uneven weight distribution had her baffled at first.

A leg? A foot? A head? A wisp of hair 😅

Lots of encouragement.

Pleased with her start 😊

Tis the season...

PHEASANT SEASON

Looking forward to another enjoyable season with the people and dogs that make it.

An old but gold and my FAVOURITE picture of Simba ever.

Maybe 7 years ago invited to stand on peg, at a good friends shoot.
Simba made his debut as peg dog 😍😍

The only kind of Merle I approve 👌

That PureFlax Ltd. SHINE ✨️ 😮‍💨🫡

You can't beat it. Oil + Advanced Dog Formula

We have supplemented for the last 4 years and we only reccomend products we use ourselves.

Keeping the whole team - Oldies and Youngsters, in fantastic condition ready for the season.
We also find if you have dogs that spend lots of time in water it keeps their skin & coats resilient.

Paired with a good working dog food - EUKANUBA UK endurance 30/20
We change from Medium Breed for the extra calories when we start upping the fitness for the season ahead in August.
If your dog is lagging it could be one of many reasons but making sure feed and fitness isn't one of those!
Dogs stay on puppy upto a year old

Chose to take vixen Team do***ng in today. She needs to learn that she doesn't get to do anything till i have asked.

And thats the reason she's pulling THAT face! 😤

So she had to walk to heel around 2 fields whilst the "grown-ups" worked, and was then swapped out with the others at heel and had short 5 minutes burst of hunting before going back to heel.

She's one that very much thinks if your eye isn't on her she can test how quickly you will notice. And believe me she's RAPID 😅😈

(Her Mum Pip being immune to that rule, she was born a saint 😇)

Tawny and I unexpectedly embarked on our first shoot over day yesterday.

Her first pick was probably the most challenging for her to work out as although it was dead, it was a flapper. I sent her to which she promptly stopped and looked at it going round unsure what to do with this 😂
I was asked if we wanted to go closer to help her, we could and I asked if i could leave her for a bit to see if she would solve the problem herself.

After encouragement she brought it straight back and sat up to hand allowing me to give plenty of strokes before taking it. I don't like to rush a retrieve if she wanted to put it down and then pick it back up for now its no issue. Snatching birds from young dogs who just worked hard can not do you any favours.

We continued where she also picked her first live bird!

Second run we again, asked more of her we run next to a friend's dog, where she had to honour shot and retrieves not hugely far away.
To the effect of "my bad" when I next cast her off, she took towards the fall of the other dogs last retrieve and I had to go out and just bring her back to where I asked for the stop as she went further. Entirely my fault for not casting her in the opposite direction and telling her to "leave that" 🙊*trainer will shake his head

Last bird flushed was shot out between the two dogs and we decided we would leave that bird - give it to the other dog and hunt away.
Once she had hunted nicely away we had a shot and a bird thrown out to reward 😍

Unbelievably pleased with the natural ability and brains Tawny is showing at her age. It's everything a breeder and trainer hopes for.

Some may question -
"too soon?"
"Your doing too much!"

But I had booked this for a dog 6 months older who WASN'T ready. We have more work to do

But sometimes greatness comes in unexpected ways 😌
Had some really lovely comments and home work to take away because apparently people want to get me to a trial at some point 😵‍💫🫡 *no comment*

Note -the life story is mainly for me to look back on 🥰
