Working my dogs in the shooting season, and competing in working tests and trials. We also have a group of Minor Breed owners who come together once a month to train our dogs for field work. My other interests are Painting, I like to dabble in painting my dogs, in oils but very much the novice painter, just for my own pleasure. I used to be a keen gardener and grow Orchids, but I no longer have the the time, and put all my garden to grass, so my dogs had more room to play, all I have left now is a small patio and rock garden.
