Aytee Jumbo Jet of Islabraw, better known as Lewis won an OPEN Field trial in Scotland with a 1st at the weekend. A wonderful result for owner and handler Darryl Elliot who beat a strong field and they have now qualified for the Championships. Congratulations both, it is really wonderful news and much deserved. Aytee now have litter brother (Lewis) and sister, (our own Jerzi) going to the Champs !
KARAT ENJOYS ATTENTION
Karat thoroughly enjoyed her show classes at the Gundog Society of Wales Championship Show, Malvern today, coming home with a 1st and 2nd. Jumping up at the judge is not allowed though! 😅
TOP DOG
Jerzi had a good day at The Dukeries Open Field Trial in North Wales today winning the trial with a 3rd. It was her first field trial of the season and some great work ended with a strong river to swim. A tough day all round with just one other award, a 4th, thanks to the whole team for a super time.
VIDEO QUEENS
Dora and Jerzi have been busy all day long recording youtube videos for the upcoming training levels 4 & 5. Exhausting work, our freezer full of cold game was put to good use, along with lots of swimming and endless hunting, lets hope that it all turns out ok !
AYTEE JESSIE JAY WINS AT NOVICE TRIAL
Myrtle (Aytee Jessie Jay) and handler Hari Lampart won in their first FT outing of the season with a 2ND and the GUNS AWARD at Glemham field trial. Fab result and it was fitting that they should take home the FT CH AYTEE ISADORA CHALLENGE CUP ! Well done both and good luck for the rest of the season.
OCTOBER WATER
This month is great for water training before the temperature drops very low. All our dogs have been water training today with imminent trials in mind.
CHUBBY KARAT
Karats phantom pregnancy left her rather chubby for our 2 days of showing amongst the other streamline GSPs but she enjoyed a 2nd in the Junior Stakes at Driffield Championship Show. Time to get back to some proper training!
PARTRIDGE PLAY GAMES
There were plenty of partridge on our walk up day in Suffolk today, but they played games with the dogs and refused to hold. Overnight rain didnt help, leaving the sugarbeet wet, but thanks to our quick guns we had a bag and the dogs made some good retrieves. Great to see so many birds for later in the season. Thanks to Nick for the day, to Gill and Maureen and their lovely dogs and to our own Dora and Jerzi for some great points.
HOTTER STILL
Phew, panting dogs, hard ground and lots of partridges hiding amongst young pheasants, tested the dogs on our first day of the season picking up. Great to get the season underway, lets hope it cools off for next time.
HOT DAY ON PARTRIDGE
A fantastic training day on partridge today for Dora and Jerzi at Glemham Hall. Lovely to see all the team, thanks to Rob, Kimberley, James and Roger for a brilliant time, to Jean for running the day for the 6 of us and to Jo at the Norfolk and Suffolk HPR FT Club for organising everything.
