Our Dogs

Bonnie was our first HPR breed.  Although a lot of people tried to talk us out of it she has been an amazing addition. With a huge drive to retrieve from the start this has made training Bonnie very easy and rewarding. Her hunting style is very typical being fast, far and wide. Her pointing is also amazing, so much so that we get as much excitement about her points now as we did when it was her first. All of this drive is all with the aim to please and her bond with her handlers is something we have never seen with a working breed before, being totally loyal.

Gaz is a home bred stud dog out of our foundation dog Rocky and our home bred bitch Daisy (Rocky x Daisy litter #2). Because of this he has big boots to fill. So far he is doing a top job and I feel in some areas he is bettering his legendary father. Gaz is full of energy all of the time but has great self control and can squash it with just a peep of the whistle. This on and off trait is exactly what we look to carry on in our breed. Gaz, a field trial winner, has proven himself in the field, in trials and in the home and we know that he has more to offer. There are exciting times ahead with him.

Also retired, Daisy is a second generation bitch out of fantastic breeding. She was always a top class dog with so much pace and style but still with that vital off switch and this has certainly come through with all of her pups. Daisy was the perfect dog to forward our important breeding program with the perfect balance of the two things we aim for in pet and working life.

Bessie is a dog that can really turn it on when she needs to but can fool a lot of people to start. In training she is perfection knowing exactly what is going on and where she is. When she’s out in the field she is a different dog however. She comes alive with drive and like her father (Rocky) she is a great dog to leave to it. Bessie has a superb nose and makes some fantastic choices when left alone.

Fidget has been a vital part of our team from day one. Although being a typical Flatcoat puppy (ditsy and playful), she completely broke the mould by making it into the shooting season before she was two. She is an extremely hard hunter with a sensational nose that given enough rein will find that bird. In the house and kennel she is one of the quietest dogs we have. Her energy is addictive and she still gets as excited about a canvas dummy than she did when she was a pup.
