Congratulations to all competitors through to the second day and commiserations to all those who went out on Day 1 including Aytee Jessie Jay with Hari Lampart. Never mind Hari, Myrtle loves you whatever and we all think you were both brilliant to qualify 👏🐕🐾
“Harris” Top Dog at Novice Trial
Congratulations to Darryl Elliot and Islasbraw Ash “Harris” who was top dog at the GSPC Novice Field Trial at Ford, Northumberland today. Two year old Harris, who is sired by Aytee Jumbo Jet of Islasbraw, (winner of two Kennel Club Championships) is due to sire our own “Q” Litter planned for Spring 2023. 😁🐾🐕
Magic day on Halloween
Thanks to the Brittany Club of GB for putting on their Novice Field trial today at Radbourne, Derbyshire. Lovely sheltered meadows with huge hedges, ditches, rushes and ponds provided a super ‘old fashioned’ type venue where Aytee Oceania (Oxo) came away with a First. Thanks to the judges, hosts, organisers, helpers and sponsors and of course the guns and lovely gallery … it was a truly fantastic day which had started with me becoming a grandma👌again 😍
Aytee Puppies Planned for 2023 😁
We are very excited to have an Aytee litter planned for Spring 2023. With homebred KC HPR Champions on both sides of the pedigree we will be keeping a waitlist for this special litter.
Both Sire and Dam are hard running stylish hunters, excellent retrievers, swim confidently and are biddable with kind temperaments. Please contact luciehustler@me.com for more info.
KARAT
Dam: Ch Aytee Katerina “Karat” is a true dual purpose GSP having won a 1st Field Trial Award at 2 1/2 years old, in the same year as her third CC in the show ring. She is shot over every week in the season and has a very soft mouth. Karats first litter from 2020 are already proving themselves in the field.
HARRIS
Sire: Islasbraw Ash “Harris” is a naturally wide running dog that points superbly well. Now working grouse as well as pheasant and partridge, this very promising young dog has made a great start winning 2nd and 3rd awards in his first few field trial entries.
Amazing day
We were very proud to spend today picking up with Aytee Natasha ‘Brooke’ and owner Marcus Fox and the rest of his lovely team Milly and Ash. Fantastic work from all the dogs including Natasha’s dam Ch Aytee Katerina and half-sister Aytee Oceania on a beautiful last driven grouse day in the Pennines. We arrived home to find that litter sister Aytee Nerissa had also dropped by with owners Dick and Jill Telford from Hampshire who had been heading home from a trip up North. The best thing about breeding is making great friends and sharing our dogs 🐕🐾😍🐾🐾 thanks guys for taking the time 🥰 we are blessed.
A True Blind Retrieve 😂
Delighted with Aytee Oceania “Oxo”’s 4th Award in her second Field Trial yesterday as she gained from several new experiences. One can never train for everything and her lovely retrieve was done with both eyes in a total blackout as they were both completely covered with each wing of the grouse 😂 navigated with a bit of extra whistle to deliver safely to hand, phew !
Thanks to the generous hosts, the GSPC and judges and Fleur Fillingham and her team for great organisation and of course all the lovely gallery. Well done to all in the awards, what a great day 😀
Are you Up for the Challenge?
It’s an honour and pleasure to have been asked to train the Scottish HPR Team for the 2023 Home International and I’m looking forward to working with dogs and handlers and planning for it to be a lot of fun. Look forward to seeing you at our first meet, Lucie.
Glorious 12th
Cracking day at the N&SHPRFT Clubs Novice trial at Roxby yesterday. Huge thanks to the club/judges for great organisation and host Mark Taylor for presenting everything so perfectly and allowing us to start early in the heat. So glad to have run Oxo on a perfect day for her debut and great to get the season underway🤞 Incase anyone has read the Daily Mail Online this morning, their confusion of photographs/captions has given great merriment 😂.
Visitor from afar
We had a lovely visit today from Alida Bevk and her partner Rock, on holiday in Scotland, who work GSPs back home in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was so interesting to share the love of hunting our dogs - it crosses all borders. 😀 However the sport may vary in different countries, we all enjoy a hard running dog that finds game and brings it home!
Good luck Alida, to Efi at her first Autumn Trial ! Go girl 🐕🐾🐾🐾

Having a moment 😍
Caught having a moment with Oxo today after another lovely grading at the N&SHPRFT Clubs GPT on Yorkshire’s Roxby Moor. The weekend of training + test hosted by Mark Taylor gave really perfect sport … thankyou Mark - the moor looked amazing and grouse thought so too 😀. Thanks to judges Suzi Burton and Andrew Farley, and thanks to Steve Pleasance and the whole of the N&S organising team who put on such a great weekend. Congratulations to everyone in the gradings and to all the many dogs that ran so well.
