We are renowned for providing Gundog displays at numerous shows across the UK, including the prestigious Great Yorkshire Show. Our displays are fun, entertaining and informative, showcasing a range of different gundog breeds. We demonstrate the different stages of how we prepare a dog for working in the field, progressing from introducing fundamental training with a pup; to advanced gundog work with some of our Field Trial winning dogs.

What to expect

From spaniels flushing cover to labradors delivering clean retrieves, our demonstrations give a full picture of the discipline and drive behind a well-trained gundog. Each display is tailored to the show, but typically includes:

Hunting and retrieving demonstrations

Whistle work, directional handling and steadiness

Simulated shoot-day scenarios using dummies

Live commentary from field trial judge Ryan Kay
