    The LineOn the Hill

    Sunday 25th May, we were invited along to a Field Trial training day for Labradors. Our role was to work the spaniels in front of the line, to add a touch of realism to the day.

    This time of year sees the shooting season really get into full swing, with the opening of the Pheasant season, though in truth, it’s usually November before they start flying well.

  • Well Done .....

    On Sunday 1st June, Graham Hartis, and Lowforge Amy achieved a very creditable second place in the Burns and Becks Gundog Club Puppy Test, and were also judged to be the best pup under 12 months. By all accounts, the tests were quite demanding, so Graham and Amy did very well against dogs up to 18 months old.

    Amy is the first of the Viper/Ash mating to achieve distinction in Working Tests, let’s hope it’s the first of many successes for Amy and her siblings.

Welcome to Lowforge Gundogs

Our introduction into the world of gundogs began when we bought our first Labrador, primarily to be used as my peg dog. From these modest beginnings, we quickly began to appreciate the enjoyment of working a dog in the field.

The next step was to attempt to train a dog for ourselves, this worked out very nicely, so we decided to repeat the exercise. Over the course of the last few years we have started to breed our own dogs, and recently we have begun to compete both in Working Tests, and Field Trials.

We are fortunate enough to have several shoots nearby, and from August 12th, through to 1st February, there is no shortage of opportunities to work the dogs. It is hoped you will enjoy looking at our site, and seeing our dogs. We will keep the site updated on a regular basis, with new photos, and any news, so please keep looking in.
