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...

When Quling w as five months old, he discovered the meaning of life. Over night, this very energetic and pretty wild puppy that I still walked around our neighbourhood off leash, turned into a complete hunting maniac. Suddenly, having him off leash was completely out...

Quling has made his debut trialling today in a water trial for Spaniels. Passing the water trial is a prerequisite for going on to open (where the dog flushes game that is shot and then retrieved). Quling is 18 months now, but still very immature. However, he’s...

Today I’ll tell you about the day that Tassla and I made our debut in Open class. We drove to Norrtälje and back, a nice little round trip of about 620 miles to flush one bird. This hobby of ours is cumbersome, time consuming and expensive… But working on...

I love all parts in training a spaniel but I must say that it’s training steadiness to wing and shot that I love the most. 🙂 I don´t have lot’s of rabbits or birds and unfortunately I can’t just go out in the nearest woods and find plenty of...

Today my spaniel Tassla started on a water test in the Swedish town Halmstad – and she did a great job. There are two different types of water tests for spaniels: A beginner test and an “ordinary” water test – the first one is easier than the second one. Among other...

Last year, Tassla and I went to a small town called Lysekil to do a working test for spaniels. I really want to encourage all of you who have a spaniel and are curious about hunt to start on a working test – it is great in so many ways: It’s a great way to find out on...

Working tests are fun and exciting, and also a great way to find out what you and your dog need to train. For many people who own a retriever a working test can be a first step before it’s time to (first train a little more and then) start on a field trial. The same...
