What a super week we had. 🧡🧡
A full Golden week with a sprinkling of NS Duck Tolling. (What a superstar she proved to be).
Another week of teaching, supporting, testing and challenging . It’s times like these that I remember how much I enjoyed my job and how much I miss it.

What a fantastic first week residential.
A wonderful group that was tested and challenged.
For me it was great to be back helping people with thier dogs. Many ‘scenarios’ awaited the group and with my wonderful partner, Jill Gardner, we made sure all dogs achieved.
A wonderful group with some excellent dog work that stepped into all the challenges set.
Thank you all for supporting us.
❤️❤️💪💪

Sometimes just sometimes something extra special pops up.
Chris Mortiboys and her lovely Wired-haired Viszla have won NDNH with 100/100.
Chris first appeared on my radar with Clem. Together we worked through some battles and then Chris got Morgan another WHV and we started all over again.
When I left for Scotland, Morgan was around 17 months I think and they were both in a pretty good place for his age. Chris was always keen to learn so I sent her off to 2 places that would help her progress.
I received a message from Chris in the week telling me of their achievements. .
I am very happy to be involved in that journey and I am very proud of Chris’s continued search for knowledge.
Very well done. A bright future for them both
👏👏🏆🏆

26.2 miles walk in aid of Canine Cancer Research.
All checked in and ready to go.

There is still time to make a donation using the link below. Many of us are touched by cancer in our dogs and research is vital. They do not understand so we should try and do what we can for them.

Please consider even £1. It all makes a difference ❤️

Wow - what a week ❤️❤️
2nd residential gundog training week in the wonderful Highlands.
We tested, helped and pushed handlers and dogs.
We held a mid-week working test workshop for some thought-provoking ideas.
We gave the dogs and handlers something to think about and supported them to help them achieve.
Very well done to all.
It really did feel good being back doing what I love.

Residential Training Holiday - Highlands
Week 1 completed of our residential holiday in Scotland, run by myself (Sarah Winter) and Jill Gardner. This is Jill and my 4th year running these training weeks in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The dogs and handlers worked their way through lots of different scenarios utilising new areas and taking part in a working test workshop with a difference. It was a pleasure to watch all dogs and handlers take on these challenges and achieve. Well done to you all as every dog in the group completed the exercises.
A huge thank you all for coming and it was lovely to catch up with some of my old clients from the bottom of England-Shire.
Big thank you to my team and partner in crime Jill Gardner.
Thank you to Gamekeepers Goods for supporting us.
Very well done to all, such a pleasure watching you and your dogs grow in confidence.
Safe trip home everybody and look forward to catching up very soon .

On the 6th July I am taking part in the Great Glencoe Challenge. This is a 26.2 mile walk over some of the most beautiful landscape in Scotland,
I have decided that I will walk to raise funds for Canine Cancer Research after losing my beautiful Eddie who lost his fight to Lymphoma at the age of 4.5 years.
Please see my JustGiving page for more details and please do give whatever you can for this cause.

Help Sarah Winter raise money to support The University of Edinburgh
