Newest recruit to Rectoryreserve


On Tuesday 19th June we collected our latest recruit. We travelled up to North Yorkshire to collect him from his breeder, who had brought him down from Sutherland in the Highlands - so for a tiny chap he's already travelled a long way. He was born on 8/3/07 and has been christened 'Gunner', which really suits his chunky build and feisty nature. The numerous Field Trials champions and winners in his pedigree have endowed him with a remarkable ability to learn quickly. He had a collar and lead on for the first time on Wednesday and walked to heel straight away. Two days later he obeyed 'sit' and 'stay' and signs are that it'll not be long before he's fully house-trained! So far he's been introduced to the smaller animals but horses and pigs are still unknown surprises yet to come!
