Tomorrow it begins… 🐾

1st October — the start of the pheasant season.

We suspect there are rather a lot of dogs in the Jixenwell community who are more than ready for this moment! 😂

Axl certainly is. 💜

To everyone heading out over the coming days and weeks — have a fantastic season, enjoy working your dogs and stay safe.

And because we know there are plenty of working dogs amongst you…

Let’s see them! 📸 Drop your favourite pheasant-season photo in the comments.

For many of our Jixenwell competitors, the scurry season might be over… but the dogs certainly aren’t putting their paws up! 🐾

September sees many of you swapping showgrounds, bales and scurry dummies for days out in the field, with partridge season well underway.

And we absolutely love that. 💜

Throughout the summer we get to see these dogs running our scurries, tackling retrieves, listening to their handlers and quite often making it all look ridiculously easy!

But for many of them, there’s another side to what they do — working alongside their handlers out in the field.

So now the Jixenwell season has drawn to a close, we’d love to know…

Are you and your dogs back out working?

And even better — show us your working dogs! 📸🐕
We’d love to see what our Jixenwell dogs get up to when they’re not tearing around one of our scurries. 💜

🏆 JIXENWELL CHALLENGE FINAL 2026 — THE FINAL RESULTS 🏆

Six tests.
Two days.
A whole season of qualifying to get here. 💜

And this is what it all came down to.

The final results board from our 2026 Jixenwell Challenge Final — every time, every DNF, every completed test and ultimately our final placings.

There were some brilliant performances across both the AV Gundog and Spaniel sections, but more than anything, I hope every handler who stood on that start line is proud of what they achieved.

Getting to the Final meant you had already earned your place during the season. Then you came and tackled six completely different tests over two days — and that is something worth celebrating in itself.

🏆 AV GUNDOG

🥇 Steve & Ivy — 6:23.58
🥈 Bob & Cody — 6:55.64
🥉 Steve & Poppy — 7:48.38

🏆 SPANIEL

🥇 Mark & Harry — 6:25.76
🥈 Alison & Todd — 7:42.84
🥉 David & Ginny — 9:27.39

And of course, our two section winners then had one final head-to-head run-off, resulting in:

🏆 Jixenwell Challenge Champions 2026 — Mark & Harry
💜 Reserve Champions — Steve & Ivy

Massive congratulations to every single finalist.

That board represents an awful lot more than six tests. It represents a whole season. 💜🐾

💜 THANK YOU TO OUR 2026 SPONSORS 💜

The Jixenwell Challenge simply wouldn’t have been what it was this year without the incredible businesses who chose to support us.

From prizes for our Challenges throughout the season to the fantastic prize haul waiting for our finalists at the end of it, your generosity has helped us make every event that little bit more special.

Supporting a small event like ours means so much more than simply providing a prize. It allows us to reward the dogs and handlers who get involved, encourages people to have a go and helps us continue building the friendly, fun and inclusive competition that I wanted Jixenwell to be.

A massive thank you to every one of you for putting your support behind the Jixenwell Challenge 2026. 💜

And, of course, AK Gundog Accessories, who have received their own very well-deserved appreciation post. 💜

We genuinely couldn’t do this without the businesses who support us.

Thank you for being part of our 2026 season. Here’s to 2027! 🐾🏆💜

💜 SPONSOR APPRECIATION — AK GUNDOG ACCESSORIES 💜

I wanted to give a very special thank you to AK Gundog Accessories for their incredible support of the Jixenwell Challenge throughout the 2026 season.

AK have been with us throughout the year, generously providing prizes for our Challenges and supporting what we’ve been trying to create with Jixenwell.

But their involvement has gone much further than simply sponsoring prizes.

Every dummy used throughout the Jixenwell Challenge this season has been an AK dummy. From our qualifiers around the country right through to the six tests at our Final, they have been thrown, launched, retrieved, carried and probably landed in just about every type of terrain imaginable! 😂🐾

It therefore felt particularly special to have AK actually join us for the Jixenwell Challenge Final this weekend. They set up their stand, brought along plenty of goodies for everyone to browse — and judging by the amount of shopping that went on, quite a few people went home with more than they arrived with! 😂

Having one of our sponsors there in person, chatting to competitors and being part of the weekend, really did mean a lot.

Supporting events like ours allows us to keep putting on the Challenges, provide fantastic prizes and give people and their dogs opportunities to get involved, have a go and enjoy this sport.

So from me, the whole Jixenwell team and everyone who has taken part this season…

A massive THANK YOU to AK Gundog Accessories. 💜

Thank you for the prizes.
Thank you for the equipment.
Thank you for turning up.
And most importantly, thank you for supporting Jixenwell throughout 2026.

We’ve absolutely loved having you as part of it. 🐾💜

💜 JIXENWELL CHALLENGE FINAL 2026 💜

What an incredible weekend from start to finish!

Huge congratulations to our 2026 Jixenwell Challenge Champions, Mark & Harry 🏆, and our Reserve Champions, Steve & Ivy.

Every dog competing this weekend had the opportunity to run all six tests across the two days, and we saw some fantastic dog work and partnerships throughout.

Our AV Gundog and Spaniel winners then went forward to the Championship Run-Off — a seriously tough 8-dummy blind test. It was incredibly close and a fantastic way to decide our overall Champion and Reserve! 🏆

A massive thank you to Charlotte, our Spaniel Timing Judge, for all her help and support throughout the Final. 💜

And a HUGE thank you to our amazing helpers. Over the weekend they somehow worked through wet, windy, hot and cold conditions 😂, timing, throwing, moving equipment and doing whatever was needed. You were absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have done it without you.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors:

Gilbertson & Page • PureFlax • ACME Whistles • AK Gundog Accessories • Tuffies • Leucillin • Rural Prize Draws • Sporting Saint Gundog Equipment • Gundog TV

Thank you for helping us make the Final something really special for our competitors. 💜

Most of all, the whole weekend was just a fantastic experience — amazing people, brilliant dogs, friendship, laughter and a LOT of fun.

Thank you to every competitor, helper, sponsor and supporter who was part of it.

What a Final. What a weekend. 💜🐾

🏆 2026 JIXENWELL CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS
MARK & HARRY

🥈 2026 RESERVE CHAMPIONS

A huge congratulations to both partnerships. To qualify for the Final in the first place was an achievement, to win their respective sections was something special — and then to go head-to-head for the overall title made for a fantastic finish to the weekend.

Congratulations to you both. 💜🤍🏆

❤️ My Amazing Jixenwell Team ❤️

I genuinely don’t know if I have the words to properly express what this incredible group of people means to me.

The Jixenwell scurries may have my name above them, but they simply would not be what they are without the amazing people who stand beside me weekend after weekend.

They put their hearts and souls into making every scurry a friendly, welcoming and enjoyable place to be. Whatever the weather throws at us — blazing sunshine, pouring rain, wind, cold and usually all four in the same weekend 😂 — they are out there smiling, encouraging competitors, celebrating their successes and doing everything they can to make sure people go away having had a fantastic time.

Some of them do that while quietly battling their own health issues, aches and pains, yet they still turn up and give everything they have.

This year especially, they have been my strength.

And to my core team — Nick, Cath, Claire and Craig — I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you. You have helped me, advised me, supported me, looked after me, picked me up when I’ve needed it and been beside me through this entire season.

When I say you are my heart, I truly mean it. ❤️

But my thanks goes to every single person who has given their time to Jixenwell this year. Whether you’ve helped at one show or travelled the country with us, every one of you has played a part in creating the atmosphere that people keep telling us they love.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created together, but more than anything, I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve created it with.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. All of you. ❤️

What a season we’ve had.

And here’s to another absolutely cracking one together next year. 🥂🐾💚

Team Jixenwell. ❤️
