I have been a game keeper for 35 years and have had working gundogs the same amount of time. My first dog was an English Springer Spaniel and I still have descendants from him in my kennels. I also have Labradors, flat coated retrievers, golden retrievers and working cocker spaniels. I have trialled all of these breeds in the past.
I am an A panel retriever judge and have judged trials all over the country and have also judged spaniel trials. I have won numerous field trial awards and working test awards. I have judged in Sweden, Austria and Denmark.
I have hosted many retriever and spaniel field trials and was privileged to run and host the 2012 english springer spaniel championships.
I look forward to judging this event and wish everyone the best of luck.
