| Les Dixon | Rounton Centenary August 2006 |
A typical show day would be two half hour ring displays, times to suit, but we are flexible and can change to fit in with your arrangements. We normally bring about eight dogs, some fully trained, some partly trained and one or two untrained. This allows us to demonstrate how a trained gundog team works together. Then we can show the basic steps of training young dogs and puppies at various levels of training. We find this is always a good crowd puller as the training for young gundogs is the same as for a pet dog. Also if time permits we like to involve children in the display.

| The Great Yorkshire Show 2007 | Dogs at work at Murton Grange - one of the premier high bird shoots |
The larger shows that we cover includes Newark and Nottingham, Herts County, East of England, Great Yorkshire, Alnwick Castle as well as many smaller one day shows..
When not in the ring we have a static display so that the public can come along and see our dogs and discuss any training problems they may be having with their own dogs. Our working gundogs are all Labradors and Spaniels.

Les also recommends Northallerton Shooting & Countrywear. |
