Flooded drives scarcely left anywhere dry for the dogs to mark. Karat on the left is getting to learn the ropes, but with plenty of swimmers rather than runners she didn't go much on having to be a submariner to pick a bird ! They have 17 days work this month, lets hope it dries up a bit.
"K" LITTER'S SEARCH & RESCUE
Aytee Kalico better known as Juno has passed her Level 4 Search and Rescue exams, making her currently the highest qualified voluntary S&R dog in Norfolk, it wont be too long before she is out there and doing it for real. We send congratulations to RAF owner/handler Ian Danks and Juno for all their brilliant hard work, it is a long haul, well done to you both.

The fourth member of our "J" litter to win a trial, we are very proud, well done Lee ! Suzi B and I are off to do some shootover work early tomorrow and send you a toast.
MISSION nearly IMPOSSIBLE
With just 2 points out of over 20 runs in sometimes blizzard conditions at the BCGB Open Trial in Worcestershire, results were kept down to just one award of Second, which went to Jim Field, Well done that man !
Our Jerzi had the other point, but with a cartridge jamming in the barrel and another bird kicked up behind, she soon joined the rest of the field out in the cold. Grr, brr, a truly tough day but great fun in the gallery. Thankyou so much to the host, organisers, judges and guns, enjoying being back in the warm ❄️
BATTLE OF THE BOG
A Fab GSPI Open Trial at Mullingar ended with our Dora and Robbie Doran's lovely GWP battling it out on the bog !
It was nailbiting, but great fun and the marvellous result of First with Excellent grading for Robbie's dog made him up to FT CH. Massive congratulations to both it was great to watch and a big hug to Dora for her Second and Excellent, asleep now and heading for the boat 😊 handlers turn for the water 😒
It was a great weekend all round for Irish FT Champions with a First at the Dublin Show for Kieron Fox Gramhey's Penny, making her FT CH, well done again Kieron, she is a legend.
Thanks to the host, organisers, judges, guns, sponsors Feedwell and the lovely gallery at Mullingar and to everyone who made the whole weekend such fun for Johnny and me. Karat has a snipe bog on her Xmas list!
LAST MINUTE RUN
A last minute run at a last minute trial, gave Dora the chance for 3rd Place at the Weimaraner Association Open Trial in Hawkhurst Kent. Fabulous estate grounds made for a super day and thanks to everyone, organisers, sponsors, judges. Big Congrats to all award winners XX
THE GUNS OF SHINRONE
Perfect shooting and judging at the GPCI Open Trial in Shinrone gave all the dogs their chance to shine on snipe, patridge and pheasant. Our first day on 'the bog' left Aytee dogs and handler exhausted ! What a wonderful ground ! Fab result for Keiron Fox with Penny and congratulations to everyone it was a brilliant day. The Norfolk bogdogs did good with Jerzi bringing home a 2nd. Just a little something In honour of THE GUNS 😉
