A lovely day’s training in the beet. We put this strong group of handlers through their paces, using parts of the ground in a different way to add that element of unpredictability. We did our best to replicate field trial conditions to test these capable dogs, to good effect.

A sedate walk up soon turned into a marking marathon as “birds” were shot in all directions. Sometimes it was found that a bird had run, requiring the handler to hunt & hold an area(empty), then to move their dog to a new place. The dogs made an excellent job of this exercise, with some exemplary work.

Blinds placed in a nearby wood had to be picked, whilst ignoring marks out on the stubble. Again, some great work here! The walk up continued out of the beet & onto the stubble, with dogs then being sent back into the beet to pick the launcher marks.

Another interesting exercise was to send alternate dogs to pick blinds on the corner of a distant wood, & others to a pole. Dogs were then sent back to hunt the area around the pole, which was now empty. A call of “runner” then required the handler to rapidly pull their dog off the pole, & push them back to the woods.

We rounded off the session with really long marks disappearing into the wood. A truly challenging morning, with all the dogs rising brilliantly to the challenges that had been set them.

The afternoon walk up proceeded at a rapid pace, with handlers once again having to remember two & three simultaneous marks…not easy. All the dogs were then asked to pick a blind in the tree belt, with the lure of the bang box, & all made a great job of it. However…a little further on, handlers were then required to send their dogs through the tree line, to rather pick blinds 30-40yards out on the stubble. A tough ask, as they tended to pull to the previous fall area. A couple did exceptional work, eliciting a round of applause from the group!

Several launcher marks were efficiently picked out the back, with a fresh wind providing good scenting. A couple of youngsters showed us that their marking skills were improving, always nice to see. Another scenario involving a bird which had moved rounded off a great day. Some truly memorable dog work, a pleasure to have been part of it.

Excellent preparation for the imminent trialling season, well done to all!👏

A day of very strong gusty winds created challenging scenting conditions for the dogs in today’s group. Using a whole new section of the field led to a good variation of retrieves. Several of the dogs faltered in picking a blind from the edge of the tree belt, all of them dashing deep into the woods instead to pick a “wrong bird” from a second fall area located around the corner. A technically difficult retrieve which required precise control by the handler. One or two made it look easy, to a round of applause from the others.

We continued the walk up, taking marks off the launchers. The line then moved out of the beet, on to the stubble, for some static work. Dogs were sent alternately to pick either a blind from the corner of a wood, or from an adjacent pole out on the stubble. The open dogs were then further tested by having them hunt & hold the now empty area by the pole, then move them across to pick at the woods instead, as the “bird” had run. Some excellent work seen here by this experienced group of handlers.

After lunch we drove to the other end of the beet, to do seen retrieves over a jump, followed by picking blinds along the same line, but way out on to a stubble field. Dogs had to take a straight line, as there was only a narrow window of visibility in which to keep one’s dog in sight. Some handlers found it unexpectedly tricky, others impressed with their dog’s skills & level of training.

More long launcher marks rounded off a successful day, interspersed with blinds & hand thrown dummies. Three young dogs who had struggled earlier to gauge the depth of the fall, all improved visibly by the afternoon, much to their handlers’ delight! Lovely way to end a good day’s work.

We put a good group of handlers through their paces on a fresh piece of ground in today’s sugar beet training session. Very tall beet, densely packed together, made for challenging conditions for all the dogs.

Although the day started cool, it quickly warmed up. Fortunately a small stream nearby ensured that the dogs could be wet down as required. We started with a mini drive in the rough, alongside the beet. Dogs were then sent to pick either from the drive, or from a blind set up in the neighbouring stubble field. A tight angle between the two positions meant some skilful handling needed by the handlers, in order to pick the right bird!

We then stretched some of the more experienced dogs further by pushing them on another 30yards on to a second blind, then added another element of difficulty by stopping them & pushing them sideways instead, to pick over a ditch on the plough. Some memorable dog work indeed!

Walk up through the impenetrable beet then proceeded, with the group taking launcher marks front & back, interspersed by hand thrown dummies & blinds. A ball dropper above a deep ditch had some dogs rushing through to the field beyond, when they failed to hold the search area.

One particular mark saw no less than four dogs try & fail to find it, despite their very best hunting efforts. The next dog to be tried then pulled off a spectacular eye-wipe by picking quickly & easily, much to the handler’s delight!

After lunch we walked up across the other side of the field, doing launcher marks, and picking blinds from a muddy reed filled ditch along the field margin. All the dogs were then tried on a tricky mark which landed in water, out of sight over a high bank. Long anxious moments ticked by while the handlers simply had to trust their dogs to hunt in the right area, but they all eventually reappeared triumphantly holding the dummy! Good to see even the less experienced dogs achieving success.

A couple of very young pups were brought out towards the end to “ have a go”, & both accurately picked their very first launcher marks, to a round of applause. Nice way to end a varied & challenging day.
