As the year draws to an end, and our shoot season is also coming to a close here’s a little round up:
Heath hasn’t worked at all to prevent injuries before the semi finals in a few weeks
Brân took alot of the workload but unfortunately now has a soft tissue injury to his shoulder, he’s so mighty in the field I’ve missed him for the last 6 weeks and won’t have him back this season for sure
Pye has helped out on some days, turning from dads peg dog to mums picking up dog, as we’ve got more used to each other, it’s been more pleasurable and easier, unfortunately he sustained a wrist injury while do***ng in, he may be able to make some more days before the end of the season but is currently on lead walks
Morse has enjoyed socialising at lunchtime and doing some river retrieve patrol, he’s very powerful and will be brilliant in the coming season I’m sure!
Clarke…. What can I say, a very immature 17 month old at the beginning of the season who was really unsure about picking birds has been thrust into full work mode due to cocker injuries. He has come on with every day and every new experience …. Some not always good ones, he’s had a serious zap from an electric fence, and also had birds stolen from under him while working across the river from me, he takes those things to heart and it’s clear on subsequent days that it’s knocked his confidence, so work on those to be done in the summer.
What a gem you’re turning into, very considered in your drive, but driven none the less.
Happy New year to everyone, more updates to come from the last of our shoot days and a new team member! 😉
