Jayne Coley is a highly respected Labrador Retriever trainer, handler, breeder and A Panel Field Trial Judge who has made up 12 Field Trial Champions…
(seven of them homebred) and bred 11 champions over her 30 years of breeding quality litters…
Jaynes journey began 44 years ago when her husband, Ian, bought her a Labrador puppy for her birthday.

Although that first bitch proved too hot to trial (largely due to Jayne’s own early over-enthusiasm and limited experience), she taught Jayne a great deal and produced her first Field Trial Champion, Waterford Athene.
Jayne then acquired Crosby Rose Piper (of Waterford). She made the bitch up to Field Trial Champion herself, and Piper founded the Waterford line that has underpinned Jayne’s subsequent success.
She typically bred one litter every other year so she could keep a puppy, and she rarely parts with dogs because of her deep love of picking up and beating.
Over the decades she has competed at the highest levels, regularly representing England in the Retriever Team under captains including Stan Harvey, John Halstead and, more recently, David Latham. She has also been honoured to serve on the Committee of the England Gundog Team at the invitation of Kevin Doughty.
An A Panel Kennel Club Judge, Jayne’s first trial as a judge was in 2011 from then She went on after numerous judging appointments to be asked to judge the prestigious International Gundog League (IGL) Retriever Championship on two occasions…and also she was given the honour to judge the Irish Championships in 2015.
Jayne Coley is a member of the Royal Kennel Club, & she sits on its Field Trial Committee, and serves on the committee of the HBBBH.
Her Waterford Labradors have appeared regularly at the top of the sport.

FTCh Waterford Ganton, for example, sired many Field Trial Champions, including the Duke of Buccleuch’s FTCh Buccleuch Xena, who won the Retriever Championship in 2017 under the handling of David Lisett. Dogs from the Waterford line are among those that have achieved the demanding multiple Open-stake qualifications needed for the IGL Championship.
Jayne continues to be recognised by fellow competitors as a valued source of knowledge and experience in the field-trial community and now serves on The England Gundog Team Committee 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

To some, 12th August is simply another summer’s day. To others, the Glorious Twelfth is one of the most significant dates in the rural calendar: the opening of the red grouse season and the continuation of a tradition stretching back generations.

After two challenging seasons, reports from the moors offer grounds for cautious optimism. That recovery matters to gamekeepers, beaters, pickers-up, hospitality businesses and upland communities, as well as to the chefs and diners who value grouse as one of Britain’s most distinctive wild foods.

Today is about tradition and rural livelihoods, but also stewardship and respect for the land.

We look ahead with hope to see how the season unfolds.
