Hi Ian,
Good to see you back on here
I shall watch your videos later though I suspect I may have seen them already!
Us: we have been mostly feeding pheasants, dogging in, training days (cold and warm) novice dog day on a local commercial shoot and field trials - the latter to help and watch.
Pearl now definitely retired although her basic obedience is getting better!
Purdey is much better for remedial training over the summer and actually takes direction.... previously a good sweeper but as she decided not where we needed!
Sally starting to do well picking up and beating
Coral - when she works for me is just fabulous - she picks up pheasants at last and the penny seems to be dropping regarding chasing (less often, for less time and less distance....)
So far so good this season!
Jayne
