On the podium at a working test!
On Good Friday, Lena and I went to another working test (WT). This time we didn’t need to travel so far – only to Susegården between Falkenberg and Halmstad where SSRK West Halland section arranged a working test. We were lucky, the dog after me...Working test – a way to check where you stand
Last weekend we were at a working test for retrievers in Skåne, Koholma Open, arranged by LineUp Gundogs. Spaniels were allowed to participate too, so Lena and Tassla joined Elsa and Keen. It was everyone’s debut – Lena has never started at a retriever...Thoughts from a mock cold game trial – Åsa & Mio

When we were in England at a summercamp with Dogs for life and Philippa Williams a couple of years ago we did a lot of ”walking on a line” or rather a “walk up” because that’s what it is called. It is one way to hunt and the dogs and handlers walk on a long line a...Gun dog work on film and in photos
We’ve now made some nice changes to the page called Gun Dog Retrieving. You can read a short description of all the different parts of a field trial as well as see films and photos of these parts. We’ve added more films where you can both SEE what hunting, blind...Seeker’s Third Cold Game Trial – let’s test drive the analysis!
A great many things worked well at the last trial, but unfortunately I think that all the self-control that the heeling required made it too hard for him to keep himself together when handling the game. This time the plan was to see how he would handle the game if I...Featured Products
