Well Nic was kind enough to day to give us some help with our dogs up in her fabby training ground near Alford. Had an amazing day with great company and got some excellent help, pointers and advice that can only help me and the boys get better!
Nic has the patience of a saint! There were many many sweary words, most of them directed at my prescious little wannabe ginger!!!
I was heard to shout "get your arse on the floor" extremely loudly so that the whole of Alford some miles away is probably now still seated.
It was fun times!!!! And the toys that Nic has to play with are second to none. Tried tackling some of Pascos issues - steadiness being the mondo annoying one! And whinging... which is still there but not quite so voicifercous!
I also today learned the difference between.... WEEDS and game crop. Wow, that was an eye opener to me! **ducks and runs**
Anyway enough blabbering... heres some piccies which is what you all like to see anyway! These all credit to my hubby bar the ones I crow about as being mine!
Those who don't like dead stuff, I'll warn you when we are near!
This is where we started the day, Alford away in the distance there. Thats pronounce Ah-FF- Ford for you southerners!

to start the day we tried juggling the 2 dogs, but it became a night mare! Not enough hands!

Huds first - don't think he cared too much for the jaggy stubble, woosy boy!

Pascos first - skinny bugga!

Can't find one for Bracks.... think because hubby had other dogs to tend to
Soooo we decided to put the chocs away and concentrate with the ginges!
Sliding scale of gingerness!

Ok, here comes the dead stuff, so skip through if you don't like!
Next we got the chocs out and tried them on the Bunnies.
Bracks ran straight out and straight back, no hesitation!

They were lovely health bunnies that need a hug!

Whos the dummy? Not only the camera man, but the dummy carrier!

Pesky spaniels get everywhere - Kessy Wessy Woo trying to save the day with a lost dummy.

Can anyone spot the deliberate error here? This wee man just took himself off to sit beside Nic!!!

Pooping and NOT dropping the dummy, now THATS clever! :roll:
