Having been brought up in the countryside I have always enjoyed many of the associated pursuits.

Ever since I was old enough to hold a firearm I have enjoyed the sporting aspect either as game or clay pigeon shooting. I am also a keen artist and specialise in dog portraits.

 

 

 

 

 

My grandfather and father have always had gundogs and naturally it was something I wanted to try my hand at.

Having left college my first job was a under keeper at a local estate. This involved many jobs where a trained dog was required. This led me to my first springer spaniel called Brett. After many hours developing his training and two seasons with him, he unfortunately  passed away with cancer.

Even after this initial set back and leaving the under keepers job I bought my second dog, Abbey a black Labrador Retriever.

After intense training, I have competed with her at a high level, and after winning several open awards is only one trial away from a FTCH, (only time will tell !)

Since Abbey I have bought another two Labradors, Flint, who is now two years old is showing promise in both field trials and general working.

 

Drake is the youngest puppy who at the time of writing is 3 months. Although young, basic skills are being developed through play.
