welcome to scurries

I have always loved all animals but my love of dogs in particular started with my first dog – A beautiful Black Labrador called Chuckie when I was 3. He was my absolute best friend and also a fantastic teacher to me on how to look after dogs! Since Chuckie I have had the pleasure to look after and own a wide variety of different breeds. When it came to researching my first dog it led me to pick the high energy, slightly crazy Working Cocker Spaniel and from there fall in love with the Gundog world and the life that comes with training a Gundog. 

 

I started my training journey with Fen as a Scurries client in the Puppy class and have worked through to the Progressive Gundog class. We also completed the Dorset Working Spaniel – Puppy Test in 2021 and received a special Commendation! We were very chuffed with ourselves as it was a brand-new experience for us both. 

 

I then brought home my second Working Cocker Spaniel – Brooke in 2022. Brooke was a very different dog to train than Fen. She is much more laid back and calm about life in general. 

She has given me a much broader understanding of training methods and timelines.

 

Both of my dogs are very loved family pets as well as great beating dogs in the shooting season. 

We are also part of the Family Gundog Demonstration Team who go round country shows like the Game Fair, during the summer showing off our training.
