WE LOVE IRELAND XX

We are spending a few days in the Emerald Isle and a FANTASTIC day's shoot over for Aytee dogs Dora and Jerzi was organised by Tom Wood from Glennoo Game Sports in Northern Ireland today.

The sun shone, the birds flew and our dogs have been superb, lets hope they have left something in the tank for Saturdays Field Trial!

Massive thanks to gun Malcolm Lee for being such wonderful company and a crack shot over the dogs!   What a marvellous ground for HPR's  and those snipe :):):)  great sport.

ZEB'S SUPER SUMMER

Zeb and Tracy receiving yet another agility award this summer. Otherwise known as Aytee Harvest Harlequin from the "H" Litter, Zeb at 7 is  as "amazing and handsome as ever".   Pictured with handler Tracy Moerel they have both qualified for the Discover Dogs Finals of Agility after a summer of winning silverware and rosettes !

Well done to you both and good luck.    Unfortunately we are away trialling so cannot go, but the pair will be running on Sunday 23rd October  at the Discover Dogs at the Excel in London for anyone who wants to go along and support them.

Welsh Trial starts the season.

Jerzi ransacked a field of roots brilliantly ending with a super point, on her first run of the season at the Dukeries Open Trial in Rhug.  What a clever girl then, having missed the mark because so many birds got up, to complete what was probably her longest blind retrieve ever, right away down across the hillside. However,   having located the partridge, (pretty impressively) she decided that it needed one more point before it should be retrieved!   Grrrrrr. Well we went out in style, shaking hands with the super judges and smiling all the way back - never any half measures with our Jerzi !   I cant wait to get out again, she is such fun.   Well done to winner Steve Kimberley, half way to FtCh :)

TOO HOT FOR SHOT

The hottest day since 1911 and where we find ourselves?   at a first shotover day  for Jerzi on partridge.   The Glemham Hall Shoot however, hosted a wonderful day.... thanks to Rob and Trudi for guiding us around, James and Adrian for shooting Jerzi's birds and to the Norfolk and Suffolk HPR Club for organising. After a great hunt in white grass, on  her second run Jerzi  rode in  on 3 partridge, flushing hard and while two flew on the gun stayed with her as she held her point, nailing, flushing and retreiving the third bird.  Two more runs with two more retrieves completed the day and we have returned home sunburnt and exhausted!

Lovely to spend the day with HPR friends and we cant wait to bring all the adult dogs next time.

 

HAVOC

Havoc, blissfully unaware of her disappointment.  We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful way in which you took our news of Havoc not being in pup.  We share your disappointment, but onwards and upwards.  Nature has a strange way of dealing with things and maybe it was not meant to be.
