Many thanks to the officials & helpers of the Three Ridings Labrador Club for running the All Aged trial at Thimbleby Estate, by kind permission of Mr & Mrs Shelley.
What a lovely trophy to win!! This is a very poignant rose bowl to receive. It was originally given as a Thank you to the late Maeve Johnson by the 3 R’s for a trial she had given them . When she became very ill, she gave it back to the club to be given as an award. A collar has been added by the club for winners engraving and I am honoured that me & Moss will be the first to be added.
I have to add a quick “get well” soon to Liz Robinson - who does so much for the Club behind the scenes and this was the first trial she hasn’t been able to attend in …..forever!

Scott & Coorie - DOB 14.10.24
People may sometimes take half a day and several visits to choose a pup they pick up at 8 weeks old. These 2 are changing constantly and how different they are to 4 weeks ago . There is no science to your choice !
All credit to their breeder who threw life at them so that their adjustment here was easier. She had tyres and boxes and stuff to explore like tunnels . They now climb the compost heap, investigate the digger bucket and throw themselves in bushes 🫣 So far so good ❤️

A friend and client, is ready for another black bitch to join his team. He has had our home bred labs before but, as we haven't bred a litter for a while we started looking for a youngster to bring on for him. After much searching for the right youngster we settled on one that we were happy with & the sire and dam were right. Receiving the full pedigree we are delighted to see that not only is FtCh Greenbriar Gettysburg on the dams top line ( he was sire to our FtCh Shadowbrae Druid of Oakshot) but our own Boris there aswell.
Boris was a phenomenal game finder. When Shots knew a bird was down but not found they would regularly ask me to send Boris as they loved to watch him work. This bitch will be interesting to watch mature.😊

Thank you OCPR marketing - especially Brett & Harry - for setting up the Stud dogs page of our Oakshot site. They did the bits I can’t! I think it looks smart. Also to Sarah Middleton for your pictures taken at Chatsworth this year. 😊

Glen aka Hollywood, is now nearly 18 months old. He is the brother to Esk aka Piggy. They both learn in the same way but Esk, being a girl, learns quicker. Glen is now growing in confidence and picking game with more conviction. Brains and thought teach both Glen & Esk. It sometimes means trying several different methods but once they know why and are happy …. They fly ❤️

When we lived in Scotland “living the dream “ 😃 we expanded our kennel to fit the land and the work we did . We had pointers for walked up grouse, we had spaniels for Heathers love of beating and the labs to pick up with .
We had to decide when we moved back to stay big and get staff or go small and be hands on ourselves . We chose smaller so we could give the dogs our time. We are happy with our decision and know from the feedback that our residential clients appreciate our attention to detail . Quality not quantity. www.oakshot.com

As a professional trainer I set up retrieves for others. When training on my own I set up for myself, so it’s good to have a few days away at Westmacott Gundogs and not know where anything is! Moss hasn’t naturally been a straight line dog. We’ve worked on it. Happy with Moss holding his line and Steve’s description of where the retrieve was was spot on too 😊

Yesterday afternoon we trained youngsters. We are 3 days with Steve at Westmacott Gundogs. When handlers take videos of each other you find a gem that makes you smile 😊😁 we love Jimmy - This is Esk.

Yatts of Foxholes of Oakshot training at Lockerbie. Couldn’t really have expected him to stop at that distance when he’d winded it! He did what I asked of him to get there and I can’t fault him for winding a little pink tennis ball from that distance 💨 Credit to Matt of Westmorland Gundogs for video & Amelia of Threlbriar Gundogs for fabulous ground
