Gundogs & shooting pics from this season

[Toffee44]

So the season is over. Just as the weather picks up!!!

So Teals first season out.
Learnt alot. Mainly that he is a brilliant retriever with a spaniels enthusiasm. Beating is very hard to keep his focus. So mainly pick up now.
Now just quickly most of you know he came through here from an advert for his rehoming, in it, it stated that they didnt want him going to a working home. However we went out 7 times (he does not live outside in a kennel) and if he hated it I wouldn't push it further, but at 6 years old and most training by me it seems he thoroughly enjoys his little hobby.

Here are a few photos taken from my only dry day out.

And just because he is bloody gorgeous

Wheres everyone elses!! Share your pics of this season!

Great pictures I always seem to be too busy to take action shots!

Can't believe the season is over but all the dogs have worked bloomin hard for me and I have loved every minute - even in the persistent never ending rain

Already resumed training for the next season

I literally had a camera for two drives otherwise I had no pictures of him from his first season at all.

Well done to both of you, lovely photos with some great action shots. He obviously loves it so I dont blame you for one minute for doing this and you have a very happy dog which is all anyone would want for their own dog.

He looks like he's having a good time!! How come he wasn't meant to go to a working home??

 

[Toffee44]

Because he was three with limited training and he had lived as a pet most of the time and it wasn't his actual owner rehoming as he was terminally ill. Although I mentioned that there are many shoots here and he may have odd day out which she didn't seem to mind.

Seems so long ago now but here was the thread

Fab photos, he looks like he is loving that! I was gonna ask if he was a Springer x lab & then read the original post! I just read a book called All about Treo, about the worlds most highly decorated ex-bomb dog, he's the same cross.
