Running Number 1 Jerzi had a lovely hunt and super HPR on her first run at the WCGB All Aged Trial in Kent but it was followed by an early exit when a fellow a competitor noticed her to be in season :( Our 4.30am start for the M25 and fog meant that we had also missed that she had come in. Oooops, we've never done that before! Apologies to the other competitors. Grrr, 300 miles, but a great piece of work to finish the season, thanks Jerzi it was good while it lasted :)
BRILLIANT BLYTHBOROUGH
Our last walked up day for Nick Elsdon from Anglia Sporting saw the sun going down on the River Blyth. Lovely company with Maureen Nixon and Quintana GSP's, lots of birds, fabulous scent and super shooting from our guns. Thankyou guys, and thankyou Nick, what a great season !
GOOD LUCK FOR 2017
WHAT A WEEK!
Grrr, never work with children, animals or THE WEATHER ! Beastly fog, no wind and a heavy mild atmosphere and my poor dogs have struggled to find any scent at all this week. Friday picking up for our local shoot was a disaster, where we lost more birds than we found and Saturday a walked up day with shooting over the dogs proved almost impossible. No staunch points with birds produced from either of the Aytee dogs however hard they tried. Testing times, come on, Blow the North wind, Blow !
EARNING THEIR KEEP :)
Aytee and Quintana GSP's worked their socks off for the second time in a week on another super walked up shoot in Suffolk. Crisp, cold weather and lovely ground rewarded the guns with a bag of 30 birds and one fox ! Well done once again to our Dora and Jerzi for a good days work.
FIELD TRIALLING SUCCESS FOR MYRTLE !
Aytee Jessie Jay, better known as Myrtle has won a 2nd and a 3rd in Novice field trials during the last 7 days! Congratulations to owner and handler Hari Lampart who deserves every bit of this success for their hard work. Winning their latest trial on partridge I am sure Myrtle is only just getting into her stride!
ANOTHER CRACKING DAY
Aytee were joined by Quintana GSP's today at Blythborough in Suffolk working everything from heather and bracken to sugar beet, woods and roots and really nailing the sport, coming home with some superb retrieves. Thankyou again to Nick Elsdon for asking us to work for such a great team of guns and to Maureen Nixon for sharing a lovely day.
OUR RECORD BIRTHDAY BAG
JERZI'S FIRST SNIPE
A long hunting day for Aytee dogs Dora and Jerzi today, alongside GSP's Esta and Freda with handler Jim Bird, all working for a team of guns in Suffolk. Thankyou to Nick Elsdon for the super day and to guns Jamie, Al, David and Tim for some wonderful shooting. The dogs did some superb retrieves and particular thanks to Jamie for Jerzi's first snipe.
