Sporting, Equine and K9 photographer.

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

We have recently sold a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppy to Mr and Mrs Andrew Howells. Andrew and Gemma are a friendly couple who have huge interest in rural sports. There added value is they are pretty fantastic photographers!

Any body looking for those fantastic pictures of there gundogs working these are the people to get in touch with.

A bit more information on Andrew

“My passion for photography began whilst working as an underwater photographer for the world famous Stuart Cove dive centre in the Bahamas. the location for many Hollywood movies. In 2001, I moved back to London and whilst training at the Kent Institute of Art & Design I assisted some of London’s premier fashion photographers. After graduating  I was the Sales & Marketing director for Venture portrait studio in Wandsworth, London.  After 3 years I became the Business Development Director for a small, international, design agency and produced and directed all creative shoots for clients. Having recently got married my wife and I moved up to Rutland and I am now working full time as a photographer.  Although I lived overseas my schooling was all in rural schools in the UK where I was actively involved with riding and hunting, so quite naturally I am loving country life and seeing our new Toller develop in the coming months.”

Dear Amanda & Philip
 
As promised an update on Mr.  Woods.
 
As you can see from the above photos he has become a real “Wild Fowler” he finds water wherever we are. Not always the cleanest I might add! He loves coming down to our little summerhaus near the beach in Suffolk and has taken it all in his stride.
 
He has really settled now and has his favorite advantage points in the house, in case he should miss something.
 
He is a joy to take on walks. He returns to us when called, whistled or signaled to and walks to heel when asked. Should we be curtailing the length of walks as he is still relatively young? He thoroughly enjoyed a 7 miler last weekend when he had a Golden Retriever to play with but we wonder if we should not have gone so far.
 
 He is a lovely dog, more confident with us now, a joy to have as part of the family. He is great with other dogs and is smart enough to give the little snappy ones a wide birth. Nelson and he are great friends. He loves going to pubs and sits quietly under the table. We have started to leave him for longer periods now during the day. He goes through the night without chewing and we have left him a couple of times  for 4 hours without disaster. We don’t use the cage at all now so will plan to return it to you ASAP. The only things he ate was our TV remote control and he pinched a ham hock from the side in the kitchen when I wasn’t paying attention!  But it reminds us that he is after all still young.
 
He is about to have another adventure this weekend when he comes away with us in our caravan. Watch this space……
 
Thank you both once again for teaching him all he knows.
 
Regards
David,Sue & Woody Seaton

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever updates from the summer of 2010.

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

We would like to say a big thank you for everyone that keeps in touch and sends us updates on the progress of puppies past and present.

We feel this is so important so we as responsible breeders can monitor progress on certain matings and whether or not we have produced a well balanced puppy.

We have added some of the  photos for you all to enjoy!
