I couldn’t decide on my favourite photo so I’ve put a selection!

Wren’s pups will be 6 weeks on Tuesday. Next week Rachel picks her puppy followed by the new owners making their selections. I know which one I think she will keep, but we’ll see!😉

Yesterday I ran Sully (Harrachtain Shepherds Moon) in the Leicestershire Gundog Society Novice Retriever test at Dingley near Market Harborough.

Out of a field of 39 competing dogs he was awarded third place and also awarded a prize for the youngest dog in the awards. He won’t be two until August and I think may well have been the youngest dog in the competition.

A little bit of inexperience on his part probably cost us the first place, but his willingness to work with me allowed us to come away with a very creditable place. I really feel he has great potential and I love training and working him.

It’s all very tiring being a 4 week old puppy!

Pups first day out in the garden pen! They really settled in quickly. We have 2 of our grandchildren staying at the moment so the pups are getting use to small people!!

A bit of early training for the puppies! When we feed a litter of pups we will whistle to let them know it’s food time. As you can see it hasn’t taken long for them to figure it out!

Today they met the remaining three sets of new owners. Looks like they have some lovely people to go to and mostly lots of opportunities to train and work.

They are developing so quickly and really starting to get some character as well as new sharp teeth!😂

The kennel club registrations have come through. Our theme for this litter is based on our holidays in Yorkshire. We were away while Wren was pregnant. So the KC reg names are:

Boys:
Spinnakeu Leyburn
Spinnakeu Brymor
Spinnakeu Druid’s Temple
Spinnakeu Masham

Girls:
Spinnakeu Aysgarth
Spinnakeu Ellingstring
Spinnakeu Moorcote Storm

Spinnakeu Moorcote Storm will be the puppy we keep. Named after the cottages we stay in and also in memory of our dog Storm who died earlier this year.

Matt’s Obedience with an Introduction to Gundog Training finished this week. What a really great group with loads of enthusiasm throughout the course!

We’re looking forward to seeing many of them again in the next group, with a couple already moving up to the next level. We can’t wait to see how they all continue to progress with their training.

I also started a New Puppy Foundation Course this week with such a lovely group of puppies and owners. The progress in the very first session was fantastic – well done everyone!

We were just missing two pups, as one owner was feeling unwell and another was away on holiday, so I’m really looking forward to meeting them both next week.

Wren’s pups are 3 weeks! Three lots of new owner visits so far and three more on Saturday.
Weaning has started and they love it! They are changing every day now.

Another fantastic 6-week Puppy Foundation Course completed for Matt Ager Pet & Gundog Training!

A huge well done to all of our puppies and owners for all the hard work, commitment, and progress over the last six weeks. It’s been brilliant to watch not only the puppies grow in confidence, but their owners too, as they’ve developed new skills, built stronger relationships, and learned how to get the very best from their dogs.

Throughout the course the puppies have began to developed their obedience skills, recall, focus, engagement, and started building the foundations for a well behaved dog! This doesn’t happen over night, consistency is key!

From the first session to the final week, everyone has made fantastic progress and should be very proud of what they’ve achieved. 👏

We look forward to seeing many of you continue onto further training classes and 1-2-1 sessions.

Our next course is fully booked. Please keep an eye out for our July and August dates out shortly.
