Sorry that the events page is still not up and running I have a problem with the people who built the site only haveing the forsight to see that the world would not end in 2009 but go on into 2010.
On a more pleasent note first two shows have now come and gone one a great success the other a little lacking in people in attendance but agood show none the less looks good for 2011 may have an events page by then.
Burghley House show in May 30-31 will see a Retriever Working Test run by Lincolnshire Gundog Club with we hope a team event and a junior team event. If you need any further details give me a ring or email me. |

Lisa Allen and Jon Cook of Indigo Collartags have come forward to donate prizes in the Dummy launcher scurry that we run at country fairs.
They are offering a free tag and collar to the first place in the junior and the adult dummy launcher scurry.
Collars on gundogs is frowned upon by so many of the gundog community but the law says your dog must wear a collar and identity in a public place.So you lot that are opposed to such garments get used to the idea you will have to at some time have to put one on your dog.
If you must put one on then why not put one thats safe and will last you an awful long time and you could get one for free if you win the dummy launch competition
.
Need more information contact www.indigocollartags.com

Just had comfirmation from Frank and Isobel at Lintran that they are again sponsoring the Junior Challenge the final to be held at Sandringham on the weekend of 11th and 12th of September.
We are hopeing that Mr Bill Meldrum will be able to sort out the judgeing for us again with his vast knowledge and people we should be haveing an event that is as good if not better than 2009.
Qualification is by invertation only and for the invite to be granted you have to show that as a junior you can handle your dog with out the help of an adult by your side.
See Bob or Frank at shows for more details.
I am so please to be able to say this event will run this year .The final in 2009 was my highlight of a long season and I was and still so proud of the kids that came along to a very memoriable day. In front of very expierienced dog handlers they shone and I hope they will all be back this year to try for this event.

Anyone who went to the event on Newyears day at the Laines Shooting School where challenged with one of the most difficult and taxing scurries the Scurrybandits have set for scurrry people and trailist to compete in.
Good scurry dogs from around the country competed with trialists to complete 5 different scurries from bales to single long retrieve onto dummy launcher next two in a pen then 3 blinds in a dew pond.about 700 yards in just over a minute and a half for the fastest of dogs.
Good dogs came and went and some failed to complete the course some got lost on the long retrieve some tried the dummy launcher and then went walkabout on the partridge pens.
Elaine Prime shone through in the end and won the overall prize with Roly Judith an Annie winning places with Steven and a lady with a little cocker from the trialist winning places with the pole dancing June keeping her winning ways with her Labrador.
I think from the comments made during the day and since the day this was one of the best of 2009 even if it was on the 1st of January 2010
Howard Kirby his staff and family deserve a special mention as they really did everyone proud they excelled in thier organisation of the day before the party and the day my personal thanks to all of them.
To all the helpers that gave thier time freely to throw dummies keep score cards and run dummies you do so much that without you none of this would happen thank you from me to you.
I would like to see this event become one of our annual events dont know how you feel but if you let me know then maybe Howard will be convinced that it is a good idea . |

When invited to compete in a most prestiges invertation only in a secret location hosted by a Goddess and a Princess one can only be so humble as to accept the offer.
Little did these mere mortals realise that Rosie and Twizzel are stars and without any help or slieght of hand Rosie became the Clowne Gundog Boxing day Scurry champion and Twizzel recording the fastest dummy launcher retrieve of the day.
Enough about me and my dogs many thanks to Gail,Jan,Monty and Julian and everyone else for a great afternoon of stupidness miss-behavoir and downright good fun.
We will be back next year to defend our title that is if we can find the place again.
Thanks boys and girls see you on Wednesday when we head south for a New Years party and the fist Scurry of 2010 on Friday the 1st of January.
Have a save New Year and see you all soon.

Any one who knows Dexter will know that he is my gun shy gun dog never as he ever tried to accept that he is surposed to be a gundog and work to the gun.
He as sat in the back of my car on every shoot I have been on and refused to get out and come and work with me or any of my other dogs.
Dexter as started to get out of the car walk with me and my other dogs sit whilst the guns shoot Phesants and Partridge then go off and pick-up birds with Rosy Twizzel and Dizzy he is running towards shooting guns when there are runners to collect.
What bought about the change in his behavoir is that I have been using PETSPEC Calmer and it is the only thing that I have changed.
Petspec are one of my sponsors for the scurries at Living Heritage shows and I used it to prove the product actually works .
I use the Mobility product on Dizzy and knew that worked because she walks better and runs without any problems ,she as had dodgy back legs for along time .
Some of you people may say that I am only saying this because they sponsor me and I am only looking after my interests .
If you know me then you will know that is not the case if this product did not work I would not advocate the product.
Why did it work for Dizzy and Dexter I do not know but if Dexter can get out of the car and stand behind a shoot line and then go off picking up then that is proof enough for me .
If you want to try any of the products contact me and have a chat.
To see the product go to www.petspec.co.uk
