BONNIE TRIP NORTH

A great 2 days in the Scottish Borders away trialling ended with our 3 entered dogs all going to water. The wonderful grounds at the new KC venue at Emblehope and the HGS Open Trial at Mindrum gave Aytee dogs a chance to strut their stuff and they all came home with a card. Thanks to judges, guns, the organising teams and of course the lovely competitors. Well done to all the winners and especially to our young Karat who really nailed her bird at Emblehope’s novice trial in difficult conditions, enjoying her first lively runner !

Quintana's at Quidenham

A wonderfully sunny day of rough shooting for visiting guns on the Quidenham estate kept Aytee dogs busy working alongside Quintana GSP’s. Woods, roots, rape, white grass and water meadows gave endless sport until dark. Huge thanks to Nick Elsdon (Anglia Sporting Agency) for organising and to the guns on their trip from Switzerland and we wish Philip Thorrold and family continued success now managing the shoot on the beautiful estate that is Quidenham.

AWAY DAY

A fabulous open trial in Ireland on Saturday gave Aytee dogs Jerzi and Dora a much needed run after a break from trialling recently. It was a great competition with some lovely runs to watch on superb ground. Massive thanks to the GPCI, the judges, the lovely host and well done to all the winners…… I have had a word in Dora and Jerzi’s ear not to repeat their mistakes next week !

Looking forward to seeing lots of our Irish friends over here at the Champs !! Safe travels
