Fingals Frosty Feet.

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Hi Amanda & Phillip,

 

Just to let you know that Fingal is still doing really well and loving the ton of snow that we’ve had. He’s getting lots of attention because the schools have been closed and the boys and their friends have been playing with him outside. He looks a little bit sad in the second photo there, but he really isn’t!

 

He’s been doing well at puppy classes, apart from weeing on the floor one week ( the only person who was phased by that was me!) and can do sit and down pretty reliably and is learning heel. He likes to play fetch although only a few times and can dribble with a football too. He’s a bundle of fun and so sociable everyone takes to him, although he nearly went off with the postman yesterday so we have to keep an eye on him. He has the occasional accident in the house, usually later in the evening when he’s tired and is good about asking out for a poo. We’ve kept him on the same food, up to 320g a day and this seems to be suiting him well.

 

He’s going to be very like bomber and has a lovely nature, full of mischief but does take a telling. We’re all really enjoying having him and he seems to be having a whale of a time too. He’s made such a difference to our lives I would not have believed it!

 

We’ll keep you posted with his expoits.

 

Kind regards,

Anne

 

Dexter the Little river dog.

Hi,  iv attached a few new pictures of Dexter.
 
He has been doing agility now for about 7 weeks and is on course to do very well in competitions due to his ability to learn very fast, he hasn’t jumps to full sized jumps yet due to his age but they shouldn’t cause him any problems. He will first be able to compete in august and i am expecting him to to get at least clear round rosettes with the progress that he is making.
 
He has also started ring craft classes so fingers crossed.

Hi All, here are some pictures of Cairn having some fun in the snow over the last few days.
It was nice to see other Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers at the Gundogs Of Scotland show earlier this month as we don’t see many up here and winning best Toller Puppy  she will meet her brother Donald at Crufts which will be good to see how they compare.
Cairn is doing well at Obedience and starts her puppy Agility training in Dec.

Hi Guys,
As Alfie our nova scotia duck tolling retriever puppy  has reached 3 months, I thought I would send you some shots of him since he has had his last shots and is out exploring the world.
Regards
Andrew and Gemma.

Gundog training: One to one lessons.

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

One-to-one training is ideal for young dogs. Usually from about 13 weeks of age and suitable for puppies up to 12 months. Starting with a young puppy enables you to get into good habits from the very beginning but it essential that you keep it up. This is also a good option for those of you that need session times to fit in around your schedule, or that prefer individual attention. We also give you homework and the opportunity to work on a particular skill or objective. Need some advice on getting started with your puppy give us a call on 01636 821600.

Sporting, Equine and K9 photographer.

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.”

Black Labrador Retriever Mr Woods aka Woody.

Sunday, September 12th, 2010
 

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
