Nine Field Trials And At Least As Many Lessons
In the autumn of 2016, I could only participate in two measly trials, and in one of those there were no birds to be found, although the dogs tried three times. Complete misery. So last autumn I made sure to make up for that! Thanks to my bonus dog Kat, I’ve had the...Retriever class with Seeker and Tassla
Once a month this spring, Elsa, Seeker, Elsa’s baby Viola and I, got into Elsa’s car and drove to Skåne to attend a class.

The next class up is Open, which is the highest class. In Open, you can collect legs...When almost everything comes together, but yet not…
What a day! I’m emotionally drained. That handling a Spaniel can be this exhausting! But today, Tassla and I had our best trial so far! We had two runs. The first one lasted maybe 20 minutes, and had quite a stretch in tailwind. Perhaps I did let her run a bit wide...The party of the year: Summer camp
Every year we have a gun dog summer camp which is just so much fun so we wanted to share a story from our second summer camp a couple of years ago. The previous year’s camp was amazing and this camp was at least as fantastic, according to many of those whom...Gun dog work on film and in photos
