Thankyou to all friends for the truly lovely messages on our move to Scotland. After a glorious week of dry warm sun for moving in to Aytee’s new home, Oxo celebrated her 6 month birthday this weekend with another beautiful walk. Sad about trial cancellations, but thank goodness for simple things. Loving the views, the black nights and the dead quiet.
Many thanks to our wonderful shoot from all our dawgs for 14 years of fantastic picking up, first retrieves, first swims, here they have all learnt everything with many proud moments and some forgettable ones too 😉 A fantastic finish in the pouring rain today for 5 month old Oxo retrieving her first partridge so beautifully. Huge thanks to the family for wonderful sport and hospitality over the years & Good luck for the rest of 2020! Guns, see you North of the border and beaters, now you can eat all the rocky road !
Sharon and her PU gang, Daphne, yours truly, Kim and just some of the dawgs 😘😍

The Aytee Kennel is moving ….. to the Scottish Borders. Unable to emigrate to New Zealand because of Covid19 we have decided to settle with our GSPs in the beautiful Roxburghshire countryside and from next month can look forward to welcoming friends old and new.
Our solution to the pandemic has taken a while to find, but Johnny and I are very grateful to all our wonderful HPR friends during this very challenging 2020 and we hope to see you soon.
Meanwhile the Aytee flag will soon be flying in New Zealands North Island where our daughter will share the Aytee prefix. Good luck to Harriett who will run Aytee NZ and breed from her lovely bitch Aytee Kimono in Spring 2021.
The Scottish Borders will be Aytees new home

We had a lovely time training the pup this weekend despite the weather and as this video shows dog training can mean almost anything, as long as they’re having fun what matters !
Aytee Jessie Jay got the season off to a great start by being top dog at the HVC Open Trial in Silsden, Yorkshire yesterday. Congratulations to EVERYONE for getting the HPR season off the ground 👏👏 but special CONGRATS to Hari and “Myrtle” way to go Hari !

One great way to escape the 33 degree heat of East Anglia…. a cool breeze, and the best mountain view ever with pup enjoying a car kennel !
Its always lovely too see our grown up pups and this weekend it was Aytee Kalimar (2016) “Doc” with owner Ben Barrett. A fabulous grouse dog he may be, but our little Oxo soon got him to play !
