Below is a brief introduction to our dogs. 

 We currently own a number of working gundogs who are trained members of the beating team on a number of local shoots.  Our working dogs are kenneled outside in individually designed kennels, this allows them space to play and rest as they desire.  Our pet dog lives inside but, if we have no guests, often chooses to stay out in the kennels and enjoy the company of the other dogs.

 

We occasionally breed from our bitches in order to continue their wonderful working lines. 

We are Kennel Club registered and all our dogs undergo breed recommended health checks before we consider them as suitable breeding stock.

Tara is our pet dog, she's the old-hand; she has been there and done just about everything.  She has taken part in obediance displays in County shows and flushed grouse on the high moors of Yorkshire.  She is now retired from active duties and likes nothing better then sprawling in front of the open fire.  Tara is superb with all of our guests and regularly takes care of the youngsters.

Meg is the first English Springer Spaniel I've owned.  She is a fantastic working dog, incredibly fast with an amazing nose, she can pinpoint game in the thickest of cover.  Meg loves nothing better than being asked to hunt.  She is a very quick dog, able to pick up new instructions with ease and keen to please. 

Fen is a neice to Tara and shows the same wonderful, biddable temperament.  Fen represents all the best qualities of a Labrador; incredibly loving, loyal, quick to learn and with an overwhelming desire to please.  She is incredibly steady to game, happy to spend all day out in the field but equally (or may be more!) happy to curl up on her favourite bean bag by the fire!

 

Grace

Grace is a wonderful dog with a very balanced nature.  She possess the same Springer Spaniel enthusiasm to hunt as Meg and is undeterred by the thickest of cover. 

 

Grace is incredibly loyal and steady enough to also make a peg dog.  She is a natural retriever and incredibly fast when returning game to hand. 

 

Grace has been mated to Int. FTCH Helmsway Hawk at Witchwillow, pregnancy is confirmed and puppies are due early February.  If your interested in a puppy please see our Kennel website, www.shootingdog.co.uk . for further details or give us a call on 07813 083518.
