Lovely little learning opportunity for Genie whilst Indy enjoyed a few retrieves
Lovely retrieve across water for 12 year old Indy xx
Even the steady 12 year old will occasionally throw me a curve ball! I had no idea Just was about to fire the launcher. I was just starting an obedience session...
She didn't memorise the marks brilliantly BUT she's 11.5 years old! Lovely pace, delivery, and stop whistle! Love her! ❤️
Lovely little training session with Indy proofing directions yesterday ❤️
Indy during some training yesterday. Love how she mirrors my body language. I didn't use my arm to direct her, even though there were two items out, why? because I know she understands the body positioning. There is incredible power in teaching your dog to mirror your body language and understand it has meaning. Plus she knows the word ball! Xx
Beautiful work on this 2 dummy retrieve from Indy today xx
11 year old Indy enjoying some training time today ###
Beautiful Indy (11 years old) showing she's still got some skills on blind retrieves
Dude sent for a blind retrieve over the jump, Indy then sent for a blind retrieve in the brashings (John held my phone lol)
Beautiful Indy (11 years old) showing she's still got some skills
Two dummies fired off the launcher. Heel turn and sent for the first dummy fired...then then camera fell over so didn't catch the second retrieve...
A little training with Indy early this morning ♥️
My beautiful 11 year old Indy on a true blind retrieve across water. She swam to the canoe and needed handling from there. Had a cheeky look for a quicker/easier way back but listened to the stop whistle and recall across water (how she understood that with a random and accidental hunt whistle thrown in is a miracle) xx
Happy birthday Indy, 10 years old today!
Indy was our first introduction to gundog training.
She has brought many special friends into our lives, especially her breeder George and Lisa of Adniel Gundogs.
She's also the dog who brought Robert Alleyne into our lives and she (and he) are the reason Family Dog Services exists today and the reason we are so passionate about what we do for clientsand their dogs.
Indy has featured on adverts, competed on sports relief top dog, and is a fantastic working gundog. She was placed 3rd at a charity working test in the special puppy category, won an obedience competition, and later went on to pass her KC working gundog certificate.
Indy is loved by all who meet her, and will always be our main girl ❤

Throwback to 1 year old Indy ❤️
(She looks alot like Rose here)
Can't believe she's 11 years old next month ❤️
Indy hunting for Rose's bandage ❤️
We had been retrieving from the dummy launcher. Obviously Indy had no idea she was hunting for a bandage, and goes past the area where the bandage is a couple of times. I reset her, to get her right of the wind, and the penny drops. She's a clever girl and will retrieve anything she comes across xx
Indy, almost 11 years old reminding me why she's the 'top dog' such a good girl ❤️ my main girl ❤️ ###
