Early this week was a first day of grouse counting for Aytee dogs. The result of the summer brood count is an important guide for deciding on the up and coming grouse shoot calendar and whilst we are ever hopeful, sadly at this time, results do not look good after a very wet Spring and summer. Our youngster Mavis has been progressing well just recently so I decided to take her along. On this day a kennel mate did her turn of teaching too.
