Renee (Deepfleet Jagger x FTCH Shellspoon Time to Shine) born 29.5.24 won the MidSussex Working Spaniel Club novice stake yesterday at Holryde Estate,Ripley, Surrey. I had trialled her twice before coming second both times, first in August on the rabbits with the Yorkshire Gundog Club and last week in Andover with the Kintbury interestingly coming second to her litter sister handled by Rod Thompson. The winning trophy is the ‘Presidents Cup’, all though a bit battered it has considerable history. It was originally presented to the winner of the Open Qualifying Stake and was first presented in 1974 to Harold
Norrington with Ford Creek Carlo. Harold lived in the same part of Essex as me and before he died I spoke to him at his home. I remember him saying that his conclusion at the end of his trialling career was that it is better to have a soft dog that takes longer but lasts longer than a hard dog you are constantly ‘fighting’ with. I won this stake in 2004 with Rytex Ragamuffin of Deepfleet, in 2011 with his daughter Rosebay Fuschia of Deepfleet, in 2013 with another daughter Tregerest Teal of Deepfleet (came second that day as well with his son Zac). I also won this stake in 2022 with his great granddaughter Shiveck Beretta of Deepfleet but that was when the new trophy was being presented. In my opinion it is so important to get the trophies engraved and looked after because they are a great historical record of the breed and the Society. Out of interest Renee is a great great great granddaughter of Ragamuffin.

My good friend Ray made up his first Field Trial Champion with Suzie. I had sold her as an 8 week old pup but had her back in for a couple of weeks to do an assessment at about 6 months old, knowing she was available for sale I told Ray that I thought she showed real potential. Ray immediately purchased her and trained her from that moment. She was an extremely hard hunting bitch that thought heavy punishing bramble was ‘white grass’. I trained on Suzie’s litter brother ‘Rook’ who went across the pond at about 2 years of age. He had a successful trialling career and importantly sired five field trial champions in Canada with limited breeding. It gives me great pleasure to know that subsequently Rook by way of frozen s***m and artificial insemination was mated successfully to FTCH Shiveck Beretta of Deepfleet in Canada. This mating line breeds as Suzie’s dam OFTW Rosebay Fuschia of Deepfleet is also the dam of FTCH Deepfleet Van Persie who is the sire of Beretta (Tess). Fuschia was from a mating between FTCH Rytex Ragamuffin of Deepfleet and FTCH Rosebay Nectar.

Please sign to try and save Greyhound Racing in Wales. They will come after gundogs next!!!

The legislation was put through quickly and without proper consideration, ignoring the cross-party recommendations. I want to urge the new government to revisit the ban and to rescind the legislation and instead implement the previous guidance recommended by the committee put in place to look at it....

Perusing the RKC Field Trial Calendar for October I noticed in England relatively few Novice AV spaniel stakes but many (12) Novice Cocker Spaniel stakes. In the past it would have been difficult to fill the card for this number of NC trials but perhaps times have changed?

Deepfleet Elsie, Madge and Cobra now approaching 7months old had their first visit to marsh today and introduction to water. Don’t think that will be an issue 💪
