The fantastic Ballinacor Estate in the Dublin Mountains hosted the German Pointer Club of Irelands challenging Open Trial this weekend. Sandwiched between two storms the cold and blustery conditions ensured that birds were either running fast or tucked right away. Finally three dogs went to water with Aytee Jessie Jay 2nd and Aytee Isadora 3rd and congratulations to Damien McCabe for a lovely win. A tough day, but as ever, thanks to the whole team and who could not have enjoyed these endlessly beautiful views .
Fantastic win for 'Bodi'
Congratulations to Bodi aka Graygees Gigolo, the sire of our expected “N “litter who won his second CC at Boston Championship Show today. Fabulous result at the end of a busy week for Bodi and owner Gina Brown as they were both field trialling yesterday. True dual purpose well done both, roll on the next one 🍾🍾🍾

Great news this weekend with Karats scan showing her to most definitely be pup. Much looking forward to meeting everyone over the next couple of weeks.
SEASONS GREETINGS !!
Wishing you and your Dawgs a very Happy Christmas
Happy Days
Despite a raw wind with ice on the ground at Glennoo, N. Ireland the lovely venue still produced birds for everyone in the GPCI Open Trial at the weekend. Thankfully sun held for the day and 4 dogs went to a very cold water with a great result for Aytee dogs who took 1st and 2nd with congrats to Hari Lampart, Damien McCabe and John Hally and Dora and I were very honoured to receive the Peter Higgins Memorial trophy. Huge thanks to judges, guns, all sponsors and of course Steve Wilson and Tom Wood from Glennoo who finished a mega week which included 3 days of trials! Happy Christmas to everyone and a final pat to the lovely Dora for her beautifully pointed snipe, so wish I'd had a camera.
Happy Christmas to all from Hari and I
Congrats to Gina & Bodi !
One trip to Germany with Bodi, sire of our expected “N” litter , and Gina Brown returned with 2 firsts and 2 excellent gradings from championship shows. Congratulations Gina, on this fantastic result. Here is Bodi in field mode 😊
Perfect Shootover Training
Once again thanks to the Norfolk and Suffolk HPR FT Club for laying on some perfect training, shooting over members dogs. Karats steadiness was well tested and at the end of the day, exactly what we wanted, she was rewarded with a great shot from Zac completing a lovely HPR on a woodcock. These days are fantastic for either bringing on a young dog or sorting a problem. Thanks Jo, Denise and Steve, for organising and a lovely day with runners and guns.

Wild and Beautiful Savernake
4 HPR’s, 6 guns tired and muddy and full of thorns and our two GSP’s are exhausted after spending a day hunting in the 5000 acres of private deciduous woodland that is Savernake Forest. How had I never heard of it? Thankyou Santi for inviting us and it is marvellous that there are still such wild and beautiful places little more than 50 miles from London !
