Scarlett

Springer x Labrador

Scarlett was always full of beans, outgoing and was a working Gundog during the season, switching between a Springer and a Labrador depending on what side of the bed she got out of.


It was because of Scarlett, I got into the world of Gundog. I loved watching her work anbd loved the bond it gave us.


As well as working Scarlett, I also  took part in Scurries and even won a couple with her at Game Fairs.


When she wasn't not busy she did love having a cuddle.

Troy

Staffie x Labrador

Troy was Lindsay's first dog; a rescue with dog-dog reactivity issues.


Although he came with plenty of 'baggage', he was a real character and always brought a smile to your face and pleasure to be around at home.


It was because of Troy, Lindsay got into Dog training back in 2009.
