Hi everyone,
I am Steph and from Hertfordshire.
I am experienced with lots of breeds of all different shapes and sizes and having a few doggies of my own.
Over the past couple of years i have been doing lots of reading and have always loved the gundog breeds (having also grown up with Labradors) i love to spend as much time as i can with my dogs.
I have 2 working cockers, 1 springer, 2 border x jrt and 2 Labradors.
I love them all to bits however they say we should not have a favorite but i do lol. I should never admit this but after losing my Labrador aged 13 3/4 years ago its just not the same not having one about so i set off on a mission to find myself a Labrador pup this time a bitch and wanted black (my last was a yellow dog)
I found a lovely breeder in Suffolk and had pick of the litter. Along came Echo on 4th Feb 16.
She is the first dog i have had from pup and decided i wanted to give this gundog training a try as i love the manners but also loved to see dogs working.
As she was a blank canvas i decided to give her a whirl.
She has been a right gem and picks things up so quickly!
I am into my photography and hoping next season to get myself on a couple of local shoots taking photos!
i'm looking forward to meeting people with the same interests and any tips for training would be brilliant especially the stop whistle!
