Lowforge Gundogs

Isla Lowforge Ailsa - As the shooting season finished, Lowforge Ailsa, Isla, came back to the kennels. It did not take her long to settle in, and she was soon out training.

Isla Training

MARCH 2008 - Now the shooting season is long gone, training is underway once more.

Seal,pictured left,  is doing very well so far, and Rudy, pictured right, once he has decided to concentrate on the task in hand, is proving to be  a very bright dog.

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.

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.
