Black Labrador Retriever Mr Woods aka Woody.

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

We would like to say thank you.

Hi Phillip and Amanda,

Hope you are all well, thought we’d drop you a few lines after our latest aquasition from you, that’s three now! Ace is getting on fine with the others and early fun/search training is going well (plenty of drive there!). He is getting used to his new surroundings and all the other new sights and sounds he takes in his stride, his real training regime will start in about three months when he’ll be a year old, i think he’ll make a great sniffer dog by the early signs.

Quinn, the black Labrador from yourselves went onto pass his Home Office assessment and now is an Arms/Explosive search dog for a private firm. I still have a lot of regrets of selling him but after the training with him he really was the sort of dog that needed to work full time and i think it would have been unfair to him to keep him if i couldn’t give that to him.

Sky, the German Shepherd sourced by you continues to excell in just about all areas of her work, Her tracking and protection work still amazes us when we train her. She is now tracking on all different types of surface for long distances and very good on stopping at all articles on the tracks. I am hoping to put her for a tracking test later this year.

Max, the long haired German Shepherd will always be our number one and although he is mainly a pet dog his working abilities are coming through, no doubt steered on by Sky.

We thank you for his early training during my spell in hospital and all you have done for us in the past years. You have found us three very high class dogs who have excelled in three very different disciplines to a very high standard, and for your ongoing help through the years. Hope to see you soon

Martin and Esme

Max, Ace and Sky.

Gundog taining, how hard can it be!

Take a look at this, it just shows how important love, body language and voice are when it comes to dog training! Why do so many of us struggle then?

Say hello to Kiara.

admin — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:46:54 +0000

Welcome to Sophie and Kiara’s diary.

Hello my name is Sophie and I’m 14 years old and have recently acquired my first gun dog which is a yellow labrador retriever named Kiara. She is a dark yellow bitch which is why i called her Kiara as this means dark and is also a very pretty name.

I got Kiara from Gill Bell in Lincolnshire, Gill had given Kiara the best start in life as she’s fazed by nothing, very loving and socialable. Kiara’s kennel name is Toprosell Chestnut, her father is Field Trial Champion Boltonabbey Remus and her mother is Brunbois Alice Go Lightly owned by Gill and is better known as Kelly.

Here are some photos taking in our first few days.

Update on Breeze.

Breeze is coming on strong with drive and enthusiasm, she’s a keen loyal retriever with energy to spare. We have been doing the basic’s to get a good foundation ready for the next step’s, she is now stopping on the whistle within a controlled environment and beginning to take directions.
