Today goes down as one of those that you will remember forever. I took my youngster Harvey gundog training at the Druids Farm in Wiltshire. I believe this it considered one of if not the best shooting lodge in the UK.
I had to get up early, it was raining so hard that my v
illage was completely under water and I couldnt do more than about 30 mph for the first eight miles. I nearly turned round and went back to bed! Thank God I didnt. I had the most fantastic time. I was in heaven. A whole day spent with people I like, in the country away from all the rat race, with my dog and doing something that we both love. Even the weather was perfect for a late September day.This is the first time that Harvey has actually had any formal training (although since day one I have been applying my limited skills to his ever present instinct) but he didnt let me down. I was and still am beaming with pride. We even won the prize for dog and handler who had the best working rapport.
I am totally exhausted now, as is Harvey - who enjoyed it so much, It's so nice doing something you totally enjoy.
