Wednesday Training Group

We had a good training session on Wednesday evening with the beginners group. All dogs are coming on really well and everyone seems
to be enjoying it.

This photo shows Craig with his young bitch Amber, and we are doing straight lining retrieves using the wall as guidance -

and coming back in with the dummy and delivering to hand.

Young Archie watching everything and taking everything in -
whilst remaining steady and off the lead.

Archie doing straight lining and holding the dummy -
 and then delivering to hand.

A beautiful chocolate bitch called Leyla who is also owned by Craig,
and who is the calmest,most intelligentist chocolate lab I have ever
come across. A real pleasure to train with and to watch.

This young happy chappie is Ben - a beautiful young dog.

Aaargh - caught you! Ian taking a rest - and thats before we had even started.
We'd only walked from the car to the field and yes you've guessed it -
he was totally exhausted.

No seriously - only joking there.
 He was relaxing with the dogs waiting for everyone to arrive.

Training Hazel.

Kendeci Midnight Gem of Peniglen (Hazel)

To View Hazels Pedigree Click Here

 Have been out training with young Hazel today (Sire- FTCH Drakeshead Indiana, Dam - Eva Desire who is out of FTCH Willowyck Ruff and FTW Zelous Zeta.)
I have done some very basic stuff with her, heel work on and off the lead, stop and recall whistle, sit and stay, and retrieves which she sits in front of me and proudly delivers.
Hazel is one of those dogs (bitches)that when given free time to go and exercise and play - she doesn't want to, she'd rather be walking by your side looking up at you - basically saying - 'come on lets get down to some work'. She has got a very mature 'thinking' mind, and for her young age is rock steady. She has never been one of those giddy pups - even when we brought her home at 8 weeks she calmly settled in without any fuss, never barked , never cried - she really is one 'cool' bitch.
Over the last month or so I have introduced her into our training groups, and onto fresh ground, where theres been new people with their dogs and where there's been more noise, different scents and different scenarios going off. Everyone has commented how calm and focused she is - she really has done me proud.
I am hoping that because of her qualities, she will enjoy going to a couple of working tests, and I am hoping to introduce her to the shoot this year, just to walk her round and generally get the atmosphere of the day.
I have high hopes for our Hazel.
