Happy Birthday to our “O” Litter who are 2 Years Old Today ! Love to the whole litter and their families………Our own Oxo is an excitable ferrari, generally focussed, confident, instinctive and a greedy eater who is a super affectionate, soft as butter companion that can be utterly maddening at times. She feels like the most full on GSP I have ever had or I’m getting old 😂 Thanks for your news and Good luck to you for the coming season from Oxo, Dora and me ….. XXX
“O” Litter - 2 years old today
Thankyou to everyone for your enquiries, but after much thought have decided that we will not be breeding a litter this year. We are very sorry for any disappointment this may cause, but would like to thank everyone for contacting Aytee in connection with finding a puppy. With our very best wishes.
Thanks to owner Dick Telford for this great shot of his youngster Aytee Nerissa ‘Nessa’ pointing snipe at home recently. Even after I’ve watched about 70 runs at pointing tests over the last few days it never fails to give a buzz 😀
Some great work and points on Grinton Moor, Yorkshire from our junior dog Oxo ended with a Very Good grading at her first GPT on Saturday.….Huge thanks to hosts, judges, organisers and competitors for such a lovely day and congratulations to all the other graded dogs.
The following 3 days, Sun-Tues we travelled north running in 3 more GPTs but I was surprised Oxo simply did not want to work. She was a different dog, her nose went down, her hunting diminished and try as I might she was distracted and would not get into any kind of serious hunting pattern. Finally, I realised after studying my diary that if she had been mated on her last season she would have whelped on the day of the second GPT !
She has arrived home full of milk, no harm done (apart from my pride ) and she has learnt great manners of waiting in line, but a reminder to bitch owners - dont ignore their calendar 😂
Thankyou to the following clubs for running such brilliant tests on really great grounds and congratulations to all dogs that graded ….HWVCGB, SFTA, NoSGA and the GSPC.
Havoc our kindest and gentlest GSP ever, passed this week aged 13. Dam of 4 Field Trial winners including 2 FT Champions and the winner of the HPR Championship for 2018 & 19 she also leaves an amazing legacy of promising grandchildren that are already winning events. Thankyou to my lifelong friend Nikki who owned and loved Havoc since 2019 giving her the most wonderful last 3 years of her life. 😍🐕 🥰
After many weeks of being away from my dawgs (visiting family) we have just got back together and WOW what a welcome……. 10yo,Dora (always quiet) barked, putting paws on my shoulders and rather like a newborn pup, cradled my nose in her mouth
8 yo Jerzi grunted (something she reserves for very special occasions) rolling over and over
Karat at 5 stood transfixed, wagging quietly in disbelief, then rushing backwards, barked and launched out of the kennel arriving on me at shoulder height
2yo Oxo was quite delirious, an exocet missile unable to decide if she would make contact
They have all been wonderfully looked after and were happy and settled so it got me wondering how and what they REALLY think when we go away ...any thoughts?
I never thought being a versatile HPR would include some serious fishing 😂 love these dogs
No rush, but we cant wait to shoot over our baby, she’s getting to love her birds
YAY !!! 🐕😍🤗
Congratulations to everyone involved in Juno’s rescue and enabling us to celebrate. It has been a lesson in holding our nerve, Juno, here’s to you, your Aytee family are extremely happy tonight
