Dog trailer for sale with room for at least 8 dogs and galvanised steel frame. Please contact Les for more details or book a lesson.

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. My granddaughter loves helping with the dogs and wants to be a vet. Mountgrace Gundogs Training Video.
In June this year I will have a small number of spaniel puppies for sale in June/July from top class working stock. A selection of new photographs of dogs and their owners working together at our woodland training ground. Dam is Loxy (black). Sire of the puppies is Glen (fox red). Both parents are hip and eye tested and bred from field trial champions. Puppies arrived 7th July. Two black dogs from the litter are available. |

A fair sized crowd gathered to watch the Mountgrace Gundogs display at the Great Yorkshire Show. The weather was kind this year fine and dry but not too hot and we were not rained off like last year. The dogs as ever were very attentive as they were put through their paces. Towards the end of the display we had some audience participation for the little ones. Later at the static display we were also kept busy. |
Now pay attention class |
