Our Spaniels
We currently concentrate on training our spaniels for the flushing and retrieving of gamebirds. Our Spaniels are bred for their ability to hunt pheasants and other game birds in exceptionally overgrown areas, and to flush these birds out of hiding. Although our dogs also make great pets, they are bred exclusively for their hunting abilities.
Occasionally we have Springer Spaniel pups for sale, these are bred from excellent pedigree working dogs.
We also offer a training service for owners of any type of Gundog.
We will also assist with the training of other breeds, to a basic obedience level, if that is all you require.
Ideally dogs are taken for training between the age of six months and one year of age, but it is not uncommon to take older dogs if you feel this is necessary.
If you choose to have your dog trained we can deliver good results in approximately three weeks. You will have the option of leaving the dog for a three week period, or if you are willing to travel, we can accommodate training on an hourly basis. Prices start at fifteen pounds an hour, without accommodation.
We aim to have your dog walking to heel, on and off the lead, sitting and staying, coming back to the whistle (recall), obeying hand signals and retreiving a dummy to hand by the age of twelve months.
We do not "hard" train our dogs, we use the dogs natural ability and let the dog develop its natural skills. Not all dogs have the same qualities, just like humans, and it is the ability to see each individual dog's potential, that we build upon.

Let us know how we may be able to help you.
Accommodation
We are able to accommodate your dog in our stone built kennel. Accommodation consists of a concrete floored, stone building with a large secure run which the dogs can access via the dog flap. The building is heated when necessary. Sleeping accommodation is by way of separate wire crates which are clean, hygienic and warm. Clean Vet bedding and quality food, along with regular excercise ensure that your dog is happy during its stay with us. Prices start at ten pounds a night with discount for longer periods.
Occasionally we are asked to accommodate a dog which is not used to the kennel environment. This can be done by appointment and after an assessment has been made as to your dogs temperament etc.
