Just a guy with a love of spaniels and plans to breed health tested, well rounded, trainable pups
My girl absolutely worked her heart out today, picking up all day on over 100 bird bag. For a girl who struggles with anything to do with steadiness this really pushed her and made her (and me!) think about where the birds were landing and prioritising any runners.
Unfortunately Ly had to be a bit of a by-stander today as the birds that were coming down were bigger than her, but she locked onto a fair few and watched them drop so we'll take the training win for her.
Who would have thought she’d have changed like that ❤️
Where has the time gone babies?
A massive happy 1st birthday to the first litter.

Couldn’t resist some frosty pup pictures yesterday, something about the frost makes me want to stand with a camera all day capturing it
My gang this morning on the farm, and the face of a mother who’s realised nothing is sacred, even her brand new equafleece that she hasn’t worn yet!! 🫢
So I've been a little quiet on here lately, life, short days and too many things on the to do list. We're out shooting a few days this year, due to the lack of birds we're focusing more on upping our competition distance and getting some decent miles in this year canicross instead.
Sunday saw us tackle our first 10 miler, and I don't know what I was worried about she kept pulling from the first mile to the last and then sat there waiting to hold her well earnt bling
18 weeks old and little Lyra had her first day on the job today with Ffion, a break away from the farm for a few hours which was greatly needed for head space.
She was rather confused as to why her mum was allowed to chase the birds when she's not allowed to chase the chickens 🤣 but some good focus work, lots of sniffer time and not fussed by the guns at all 👌
Ffion on the other hand, had a blast clearing the heavy cover and even managed to listen to the whistle a couple of times 🙈
When you have to do double and triple dog training at 12 weeks old, trying to keep the focus and realise that not every treat is for the youngest one!
When you tell the girls to go to bed 🤣 this is what my evenings consist of, the best part comes when the tiny one kicks the other two out and lays there like a Queen 🤷
My cracking little Lyra being introduced to the river today, not too sure and quite happy to imitate a pointer pup while watching mum swim
Can't believe this little girl and her litter mates are 12 weeks old tomorrow 😱 where the heck has that gone.
We are currently learning that chickens are to be watched and not chased, the face says it all about what she thinks of that 🥰
So apparently this is classed as helping 🥴 I'm not so sure to be fair but she was very insistent 🤦
9 weeks and 2 days after giving us our gorgeous litter and our canicross season has begun with a bang!
Thats the face of someone who's just dragged a very unfit owner around a rather hilly course!!
Hopefully we will get some fresh pictures of us in very unshapely action.
For now it's back to training and hitting those trails ready for the next
And just like that our last one flies the nest, Indie stayed with us an extra week and today got delivered to a very excited new family for her.
Be good little miss 🥰
When you are 9 weeks old and daddy wants a picture of you together 😂
So yesterday I dropped our big lad off after his last night with us, safe to say he's settled!! After a few moments of hiding behind me in the garden he soon found his feet with his big sister 🥰
Be a good boy Rudi Roo
And in the blink of an eye our little family is down to 3 as our first flies the nest for her new home. Their last night all in their own beds 🥰
Be good Rosie and I'll see you for a cuddle next weekend
Day 1 to Day 56 (8 weeks old)
Where the heck has that gone?!
So 8 week weight check
Rudi 220g to 3kg
Indie 210g to 2.65kg
Lyra 190g to 2.45kg
Rosie 200g to 2.35kg
The last 8 weeks have been full of fun, stress, sleepless nights and A LOT of puppy poo 😂🙈
Full reality of breeding write up later
The look of a mum just trying to do the washing with the kids 'helping' 😂
Just like that babies are jabbed and chipped, what on earth happened to the last few weeks 🥴
Who the heck needs toys when you can play with a plant pot at 6 on a Sunday morning 😂🥴
Where have my puppies gone and can I please freeze time just for a little bit 🥰
Today's marks 7 weeks and our first experience of grown up collars
Not long and they'll start flying the nest 😭
When you are mastering sit and puppy eyes because you know you are not meant to be in that part of the garden!!
Although Indie decided that the grass is wayyy more exciting, just look at that smugness 🤣🥰
10 minutes training with each of the pups and the results = this 🥰
These are such clever little people and pick up on things so quickly
Absolutely delighted that these guys have all met their new pawrents, from shooting to canicross homes they are all going to be awesome. Can't believe how quickly time has gone....
Daily dose of cuteness, mixed with a pinch of sass and a heap of cheek!!!
Tiomante Denali.... The smallest of the litter and the little keeper, definitely true that they choose you and this one slugged her way over to sleep on my hand her first night in this world 🥰
Tiomanté Capitol Reef... Cracking little blue roan who is already such a bold pup, first in everything including the food bowl 🤣
Tiomante Acadia... Our cracking chocolate girl, full of sass and an extra dose of cheeky 🥰
Tiomanté Zion... Absolute chunk of a lad and the softest one of them all 🥰
Just a girl with her leaf!!!

So I've completely neglected this page recently, but our adventures haven't slowed down at all. Here's my cracking mum and daughter dream team dragging me round the 30 mile ultra in south Wales a couple of weeks ago. Now with our shooting season starting today let the fun and the chaos begin with a busy winter ahead and lots more updates to come as we progress through the season.
So someone had her first rainy walk tonight, don't think she's too impressed at the fact!! In her defence she is soaked as is my coat and jumper as I shoved her in half way round so we could speed up a little 😂
Ready to take on the world 🥰
Dad says I have to pay my way... This is not what I had in mind! #slavedriver
Today I've mostly been an unpaid groom carrying the horse brushes! This working life is hard work 😂🐴
What Sundays are made for.... Soggy wood walks with our spaniel boarding, going to be quiet tomorrow when she goes home
