Gundog Training Forum

After a morning spent showing, the two youngsters were glad to get out and about on the moors and release some energy!






(yes, she is winking at me, little ratbag)





The snow up here is still pretty bad





Although it's worst across the roads where it's drifted and been ploughed into walls of snow!!







Hopefully it will have cleared enough to crack on with a bit of training with the flatcoat over the next week or so!!

WOW THATS SOME SNOW!!!!!!

That Flattie has a lovely head on her. How was the show? We're your dogs in too good a condition to win anything?

Show was good Judy, both came second in their class, Zasa, out of a class of six, and Rhuna out of a class of three. One of the competitors in Rhuna's class is someone I've had a bad experience with previously, last time they gave us no space to stand in the line up for the judge to look over us, this time they ran up our backsides on the move, which, considering there was only the two of us running round the ring, was pretty obvious and very bad form. Rhuna's breeder knows them, and according to her, it's not a suprise. Next time out if they're there, I'll just stop and ask them politely if they'd like to pass us, and remind them that it's not a race. But thank you, I'm biased, but she does have a lovely look about her, and the snow is starting to melt enough for me to concentrate a bit more on the other training this week, thankfully.

Great photos

Thanks, but it was only a little point and shoot, got a couple of better ones this afternoon in the sunshine when I remembered to charge the batteries for the DSLR

What breed is the black dog? He/she is very elegant!

She's a flatcoated retriever, and I might be biased but she's a rather nice looking one.
