Royal Highland Show 2024, what a weekend! Cockers, springers, labradors, ice creams, sunshine, music, boat trips, cider, assistant trainer Roscoe, old friends and new friends. Thank you to everyone that came to watch our demonstrations, we had some lovely feedback and conversations over the weekend. We are heading home this evening and feel very lucky to have such a good pack of dogs and it was a privilege to share them with you all at the show again. Thank you, Joe and the team x

We had another enjoyable training session today with this lovely fellow, Target. He’s a son of Tartan and, if he carries on impressing like he is, he will be one of our main performers at the , and this summer.

We have been delighted to accept some new bookings for our demonstration team this year and we already have some dates in the diary for 2025. Joe and his gundog team appear at corporate and private events, performing a gundog training demonstration with the opportunity to ask questions and meet the dogs.

*Upcoming Training Days*

We are running two group training days this Spring from our training centre at Lanton Hill Farm, TD8 6SY.

Our days consist of group training exercises in the morning, a hot lunch in the Sealpin lodge and then a mock test in the afternoon. These are relaxed, novice days with friendly company and if you’re wondering if your dog is suitable then please message Joe to discuss.

We are hosting a day ourselves on Sunday the 21st of April and running a day for Country Girls UK on Sunday the 12th of May (ladies only for that one).

Send Joe a WhatsApp on 07731538941 for prices and booking for either day.

Keira and Volley are today’s models, two springer sisters that we’re currently training.

*March Offer*

Signs of Spring are appearing around us and here at the kennels we are getting busy with one-to-one training sessions. We usually give lessons at either 10am or midday on weekdays, with weekend slots sometimes available.

An hour’s lesson is usually £50 but, for training sessions in March only, we are offering two lessons for the discounted price of £80.

March is a reasonable month for us before the calendar moves on to demonstrations and we become busier with other commitments. So, if you’re ready to grasp the improving weather, give Joe a WhatsApp or call on 07731538941 and organise two March sessions for £80.

We loved seeing everyone at the 2023

Four days of gundog demonstrations and the dogs made us really proud. We had particular fun with the cocker team featuring all the Ts: Ted, Toffee, Target, Tequila, Temptress, Tartan and Tokyo.

The highlight for me was having Roscoe in the ring for his first demonstration on Sunday morning.

Thank you for coming to see us and for the lovely feedback.

Now that the shooting season is over we’re able to spend more time with this year’s youngsters. My favourite so far is Volley, who reminds me a lot of her grandmother FTW Sealpin Bobby Dazzler.

We’re enjoying some brilliant days picking up and shooting with our own and client dogs at the minute. The last few weeks of the season are always manic but we will miss our days out in the Borders hills when February the 2nd arrives!

Here are Tartan and his young niece Temptress out this week.

We are very sad to let our followers know that Elizabeth Martin, Edward’s wife and Joe’s granny, passed away recently. She was a truly amazing woman and a big part of the Sealpin business over the years. We know how much she meant to many of our followers.

We are mourning her passing but feeling very lucky and privileged to have had Granny Bizz as such a big part of our lives.

As a very strange shooting season comes to a muted end, it’s a great time to appreciate how lucky we are to enjoy our countryside and dogs.

Hopefully we will all appreciate a great shooting season next year, we will certainly be thankful for our sport.

I’m posting out some more training DVD orders this week (available for labs, springers and cockers). Send me a message for details as I’m currently able to offer full DVD sets at a lockdown discount.
