I had an enquiry from an Our Dogs reader who is reaching out for help towards the SWGC. I hope to organise this shortly, perhaps it could be a nice idea to organise an SWGC training day on cold game to be able to show novice people what this certificate involves without the pressure of …
A big thank you to everyone from far and wide who have been in touch hoping we were all ok and had survived the terrible floods that followed the heavy rain last Friday in and around South East Wales. This was very much appreciated. The speed at which the rain and flooding came was a …
It had to happen, it was only a matter of time – Clubs, although they do not want to, have found it necessary to increase annual subscriptions. The American Chesapeake Club was the first announcement to arrive via email. For as many years as I can remember the overseas ACC membership has been $60, with …
A belated birthday gift arrived in the post last week. My friends know I am not a chocolates and gloves person, always preferring to give rather than to receive. When this gift arrived, sent to me by a very good friend of many years, I was surprised and delighted. The card said I thought this …
Just one more show with a set of CCs for Chesapeakes this year, which of course is LKA.
Many now turn to beating, picking up and wildfowling. I always think that this is the time of year when we put the show bag down and pick up the game carrier bag. Or at least this …
Such a busy weekend. The Chesapeake committee were out in force at Darlington Championship Show running 2 HOA sessions, 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Those running and organising were Molly Barker, Sharon Baxandall, Tracy Boyles, Caroline Griffin-Woods, Chris Hewitson, Christine Mayhew, Gemma McCartney, Lorna Murray, Richard Playle and Sue Worrall. Apologies …
Mainly show results this week, except for Jason Hayes and his son who were out shooting the moon just before Richmond. Jason said Floki – SH CH Tideflight Floki, had 3 excellent retrieves on geese before noticing what seemed to be a wounded goose way out in the water. These can be the most difficult …
I am always being sent lots of photographs of lots of dogs, some which I have bred and some which I have not. Recently I was sent a photo of a young bitch and asked to comment. As I have said in the past I really do not like to critique any dog from a …
A mixture of unpredictable events saw many absentees from our ring on Friday at WKC. Lorna Murray was driving down from Roxburghshire, a journey which would normally take 7 hours. Unfortunately Lorna’s vehicle decided it did not want to go! Even with a quick repair man, who was able to fix it, the journey delayed …
It was back to Malvern for a very interesting URC Championship Show just a few days after National Gundog. This was the first time giving CCs in the breed for Mr Russell Mosedale. Well known in the dog world he is not known in the Chesapeake world bar for a few people. Mr Mosedale came …
