WONDERFUL IRELAND

Travelling home on the ferry from Belfast after a wonderful Open field trial near Fivemiletown in Northern Ireland.

Thankyou to the German Pointer Club of Ireland, the judges and  to Tom Woods of Glenoo Sports for putting on a really fantastic competition.  Superb dog work on partridge, pheasant and snipe,  from Jerzi and Dora who both graded excellent with 2nd and 3rd placings, but the worthy winner was  Keiron Fox and his GSP who nailed his birds in style, congratulations Keiron !  So sad for this to be the last trip for now, we have made some great friends XXX cant wait to come back next season  photos courtesy Mark Johnson.

 

LOOK WHO'S IN ST !

Dora has managed to get a centre spread on page 22 of this weeks Shooting Times!  Thankyou to Graham Downing for a lovely report on a days shooting in December when Aytee and Quintana GSP’s worked for Anglia Sporting Shooting Agency and a great team of guns in Suffolk.

KEEPING THE FAITH

An amazing day for Jerzi today winning a First in the Brittany Club of GB Open Field Trial and qualifying for the  HPR Championships.    She has hunted, pointed and retrieved beautifully this season but flushing those pesky birds has proved difficult for her to master keeping her out of the big awards until this week, finally the penny has dropped!  🙂

Also a cofm on the same day at the Boulge Shoot Novice Trial for AYTEE JESSIE JAY better known at Myrtle.  Well done Harriet !  A great end to the season 🙂

PERFECT START TO 2017

A fabulous sunny day spent walking up with family and friends, a few birds and lots of laughs.  Dora and Jerzi doing their job so well, but James, James and James more got away from the guns than went in the bag ! Great fun and thankyou for such a lovely day.  A marvellous end to Christmas and the New Year.

 

WHAT A WEEK!

Grrr, never work with children, animals or THE WEATHER ! Beastly fog, no wind and a heavy mild atmosphere and my poor dogs have struggled to find any scent at all this week.  Friday picking up for our local shoot was a disaster, where we lost more birds than we found and Saturday a walked up day with shooting over the dogs proved almost impossible.  No staunch points with birds produced from either of the Aytee dogs however hard they tried.  Testing times, come on, Blow the North wind, Blow !
