Website

with his dogs for the last five years. Les was originally based at
Mountgrace Priory when he started his gundog display team - hence the
name.

Rounton Centenary August 2006 |
A typical show day would be two half hour ring
displays, times to suit, but we are flexible and can change to fit in
with your arrangements. We normally bring about eight dogs, some fully
trained, some partly trained and one or two untrained. This allows us to
demonstrate how a trained gundog team works together. Then we can show
the basic steps of training young dogs and puppies at various levels of
training. We find this is always a good crowd puller as the training for
young gundogs is the same as for a pet dog. Also if time permits we like
to involve children in the display.

| The Great Yorkshire Show |
Dogs at work at Murton Grange -
one of the premier high bird shoots |
The larger shows that we have covered include
Newark and Nottingham, Herts County, East of England, Great Yorkshire,
Alnwick Castle as well as many smaller one day shows..
When not in the ring we
have a static display so that the public can come along and see our dogs
and discuss any training problems they may be having with their own
dogs.
Our working gundogs are Labradors and Spaniels.
