Karat (Aytee Katerina) sprang a surprise at only her second show in the Norfolk & Norwich Open winning two gundog puppy classes and coming away with the reserve group gundog puppy.
Has that set us up nicely for the GSPA Championship Show tomorrow, or will it be hero to zero ?
We have found new way of summer exercise. The ground is so hard for hunting and with the crops getting up I've taken to my bike !
Good job its not the M25 outside the back door :)
Karat was exhausted last night after spending over 4 hours in the heat of the day at the end of a camera lens. She managed to demonstrate on camera what not to do, (!) as well as what should be done (thank goodness!) for a sequence of short training videos which will soon be uploaded to our AyteeGSPS Youtube channel. We will soon be releasing a digital Training Programme for the young HPR, which will be accompanied with various demos on video. Great fun to do, but woof, Karat reckons hard work !
Karat found herself wading towards the middle of an old bomb hole full of water today and decided to carry on and chase her mother on the other side. A lovely place for her first swim and after the initial surprise she was soon splashing in and out retrieving our old rabbit skin dummy. Her pondy smell was only surpassed by her rolling in a dead mole just in time to come home! :)

We are delighted and proud that our own Aytee Juniper, better known as Jerzi has won the Irish Kennel Clubs title of HPR FT Dog of the Year 2016 ! Thankyou to all the competitors and officials across in the Emerald Isle that made us so very welcome and shared in her win. Jerzi finished a very successful field trial season both in the UK and Ireland and is now having a long rest before getting back to work in August.
Sorry guests, but this photo has to go up in the B&B. Loving those 8 eyes looking at us.
Today, the dogs fully tested the patience of photographer Nigel Baker from Eastern Light Photography who was shooting a session which I had been given as a present. Nigel, who usually photographs horses, took this “casual” snap ! the real McCoy I’ll share later, but can you imagine 6 month old Karat’s intense interest in some training pheasants which we’d thawed from the freezer to use as props? She was generally beside herself (literally) trying to reach them. Well Nigel did finally triumph with some gorgeous pictures helped by playing his ring tone of a horse neighing ! Very clever Nigel. Karat for a second was rendered immobile 🙂
