A few moments from our training day with Jobeshill Gundog Training at Roanlodge Gundog Training Centre on Monday.

Jobeshill Gundog Training and Green Acres Gundog Training have just had a week at Roanlodge Gundog Training Centre. We did a mixture of training days and groups as well as having time to do our own dogs. We made good use of the valley and the obstacle areas. We had a lovely variety of breeds - five of the retriever breeds and three types of spaniels.
Here are a few photos that give a flavour of the week (and the weather!).
There are also a few videos of the flatcoat group on my YouTube channel (look under Videos and Shorts): https://www.youtube.com//featured

Jobeshill Gundog Training and I have a novice confidence day near Marchington on Wednesday. There is a large lake there, and given the forecast, we will make good use of the water. I will be in the water, so this is a great opportunity for dogs that either aren't confident in the water to encourage them in, or dogs that aren't steady around water, as I will be able to pick up the dummy from the water when necessary.
Cost is £75, meet 9.30am for a 10am start. We aim to finish around 3 to 3.30pm. Please let me know asap if you'd like one of the two places that have become available.

Yesterday, I was one of the judges at the Minor Breeds working test at Roanlodge Gundog Training Centre. It was lovely to see the different breeds working. We set some technical team tests, which involved planning by the teams to play to each dog's strengths. A barbecue and plenty of cake completed the social side to the day, which had a wonderful atmosphere.
Thank you for the invitation to judge, NEFRA and Anne; and of course Lesley Morgan for your hospitality.

Today saw NEFRA members representing our breed at the annual Minor Breeds Test
Our host was Lesley Morgan at Roan Lodge near Buxton.
Judges were Jane Fairclough, Sarah Middleton and Susan Rodgers.

Beautiful weather to be out with a group doing some novice work in and around water.

Does anyone have a shotgun blank adapter (or two!) that they don't use any more? We'd like to include the use of a shotgun on some of our training days, and thought we'd ask before buying new. Drop us a message if we could buy them from you.

Jasper and I came fourth in the Dove Valley Novice Spaniel test yesterday. It was a warm, sunny day, but Jasper kept his cool and worked well for me. There was some nice feedback from both judges, including that Jasper was "well trained", did "stylish hunting", "used the wind well" and that he's a "powerful dog". A good experience for both of us.

We were back in 'the valley' at Roanlodge Gundog Training Centre with Jobeshill Gundog Training yesterday for a novice day. Surprisingly, the weather was very kind to us again. A lovely group (some of whom generously brought home-made cake), and the dogs did some lovely work on more challenging ground. Inca found it all very tiring (see last photo!).
