Small, but perfectly formed this little shoot. Very grateful for the opportunity to shoot a few birds (and miss a few more!). Lovely day to end our season, with friends.
Pip Wheatcroft beautiful photos to remember the day 🙏 and guest picker upper Gary Rogers 🐶

Back from a memorable weekend competing at the Home International competition at the Game Fair as part of the England Gundog team. What a great finale for England, taking overall first place against the home nations.

And delighted that Brae (FTCH Jarailstar Hogen of Stauntonvale) was awarded The CLA Challenge Trophy for Highest Scoring Individual retriever and the Wilson Challenge Trophy for Highest Scoring Dog Overall. Good boy Brae 🥰

A huge thank you to the team sponsors Skinners, who do so much for our sport, and to all of the hard working organisers, judges and helpers.

Kitty (FTCH Stauntonvale Tic Bean) celebrated her 10th birthday this week with an afternoon out in Northumberland!

She started off well, still marking sharply and then nailed this diagonal blind across a gulley, before becoming highly opinionated and pulling the “heck” out of me all over the place on a long delayed mark up the stream bed! 😱😂
It was a fun afternoon though 🥰

It’s that time of year again. The bluebell wood looks amazing. So just one photo each of FTCH Stauntonvale Tic Bean (Kitty) and her granddaughter Texacali Ennis at Stauntonvale (Ennis) - just a shame she didn’t inherit granny’s ears! 🤣
