🌟 We now have a FTCh!! 🌟
Today Shiveck sovereign of Craigscourt ( Molly ) won the Westward gundog society open Av Springer trial at Powderham Castle qualifying for this years British championship which makes her up to FTCh!
This is our first and as you can imagine, we are over the moon!
Rosebay Evita of Craigscourt was awarded a COM and guns choice.

Thankyou to field trail secretary sally Jenkins who did a fantastic job with her team to put on the trial after a motorway closure on the M5 put the trial at risk and to Terri for giving up her run to judge.

It was a real pleasure to be on such a lovely estate and work our dogs so thank you to head keeper Dick and his team!

Thanks to everyone that has supported us throughout the years! Your support has been greatly appreciated!

Thanks also to for the water treadmill work.

Dogs fed on valley raw.

Oh what a week!! 🫢
Back on Wednesday we notice an irregularity with holly, our 10 month olds puppies eye.
Initial inspection was inclusive so she was immediately
Taken to Taylor Vets in brackley & they confirmed nothing in the front but proceeded to scan her head and eye throat areas detecting something on the back of the eye, decisions took place as to whether to get a referral to the eye specialist.
The practice was phoning for spaces at 4:30 Friday afternoon whilst her eye continued to swell it was unclear at this point if we could save the eye!
John was out but lucky for us came back and reviewed the scans and came out to see me.
He had seen similar issues before and was confident it was an ulcerated cyst on the back of her eye and how to operate saving time and money giving her the best chance of success.
At this point I will point out John has been treating our dogs for the best part of 20 years so I trust him whole heartedly!!
I said John I’ve trusted you with them all do what you think is right.
That night after hours she was operated on!
A late evening phone call to say all had gone well but would need to be kept in till the morning! 🤞
We picked her up this morning with a list of things to do and were told to call if anything looked serious however expect it to look worse as everything settled.
We need to go back Monday so fingers crossed she’s on the right path 🙏 it will be some time to see if she makes a full recovery but John and his team have given her the best chance.

Thankyou John the team can’t recommend you enough!!!
