Our interest in Labradors began with one dog, Flynn, Contrail Champers of Lowforge. Flynn was a wonderful dog, with whom we have both spent countless enjoyable hours. Flynn was 18 months old when we bought him. We decided that following on from him, we would like to try our hand at training a pup ourselves, so we went back up to Scotland for Ash, Pittendreich Highlight of Lowforge, she proved to be a very willing pupil, and Jane formed a strong bond with her. Ash has grown into an excellent working bitch, and Jane was bitten by the training bug, and has continued to train our other Labradors, some of which can be seen here.
Isla Lowforge Ailsa - Isla is litter sister to both Seal, and Bob, FTCH Lowforge Aragon of Leacaz. Isla is an integral member of our picking team, and works throughout the season, from the early Grouse days, to the end of the Pheasants.

Pittendreich Highlight of Lowforge - Ash was our first serious attempt at training a gundog, she enjoyed some success in Working Tests, winning a Novice Cold Game test, and been placed in Open Tests. Ash is now the cornerstone of Janes picking up team, a fast stylish bitch, that excels in retrieving runners. Ashs' first litter, sired by FTCH Greenbriar Viper of Drakeshead, produced FTCH Lowforge Aragon of Leacaz, and from her second litter to FTCH Emmawood Drake, Lowforge Enrica of Labdom owned by Wayne Mitchell has won a Novice FT, and has a second in Open this season.

Swaine Siskin of Lowforge - Indy is a very well bred bitch, by FTCH Pocklea Adder. Indy was quite a challenging dog to train, she has very strong hunting instincts, and a bit of an independent streak (hence the name Indy!!). These qualities do have their uses, particularly on the wide open spaces of the Grouse moors.

Druimmuir Dodge of Lowforge - Sonny is a handsome yellow dog, bought from our friends at Druimmuir Spaniels. Sired by FTCH Kenue Fir of Leadburn, out of an excellent working bitch by FTCH Craighorn Bracken. He appears to have inherited the drive and hunting ability of his sire, in combination with the responsiveness and biddability associated with the bitch line. Sonny has proven to be a real all rounder in terms of working ability. Spending a great deal of his time as my peg dog. However, he is equally happy picking up on the grouse moor, or at heel on walked up days. Furthermore he has also competed in Field Trials, and it is our aim to run him again this year. Sonny is a proven sire, and is offered at stud, for further details and full pedigree please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

Lowforge Aurora - Charlie is a bitch we kept back from our first ever litter. She has just completed her first full season of picking up, and has acquitted herself very well indeed, and we are delighted with her performance. Charlie is a very keen and biddable bitch, showing absolutely no fear of the heaviest cover. This may be something to do her with running around with the spaniels since being a pup. After having a break for a few weeks, she will go back into training with a view to running in Working Tests during the summer, just to keep her focused, until the season comes round again.

Lowforge Amour - Seal is the bitch pup we have kept back from the mating between Ash and FTCH Greenbriar Viper of Drakeshead. At 8 months old, we are just starting to ease her into formal training. Seal has thus far proven to be a very attentive, and biddable pup, very level headed, and eager to please. Jane seems to have formed a strong bond with her, at even at this early age. We will update this page as her training progresses.
