Last bump to ask if this could be made a sticky so it doesn't shoot down the list and get lost after all that work! Thanks!

Hi All,

This is my first post on this site, so forgive me if I am not doing it properly. I recently lost my 13 YO Lab, Drakeshead Aryton, and would appreciate help in trying to contact the Halstead's via email about another dog. I have had many Labs, but none have been close to this prized animal. Thankyou in advance.

Sorry but to my knowledge they are not on the net, certainly no email address advertised anywhere. Normally I wont put people's personal details on an open forum but as their phone number is freely available to anyone in all the shooting press I dont mind posting it here.

John and Sandra Halstead, phone 01254 831363

Regards, John

Does anyone know of a club/society where I can meet up with people in East Yorks area please to learn more about working Rufus please? I know he's still very young, but I'm keen to try and get things right from the start! Many thanks.
