Is he, or is he not, the bestest gundog in all the World?
The day of reckoning dawned cold and damp last Friday.
But we were there. Me and my dog. He leapt out of the car when we arrived at the meeting point ... then promptly jumped straight back in again when he saw a burly young golden labrador bounding up to him!
And he was a bit like that for much of the day really. Enthusiastic but overwhelmed by the sheer amount of "New Experiences" that kept throwing themselves at him! But slowly he came out of 
his shell and, as the day wore on, acquired a steady stream of admirers - some for his looks, others for his manners - along with his growing confidence. Most importantly, he never put a foot wrong or failed to hear a command.

Most importantly, he never put a foot wrong or failed to hear a command."Keeps nicely close to you" said The Keeper halfway through the afternoon... High Praise indeed. Keepers have been known to shoot dogs who run riot.......
By the end of the day - and 9 'til 5 is a long day for a young chap - he was worn out but happy and fell asleep in the beater-bus back to the farmyard.
Doubtless dreaming of the scents he'd found and the birds he'd flushed.
So the answer for now is "Yes! Definitely the bestest gundog in all the world" ...
and now he's had a taste of it, let's hope he doesn't go AWOL next week.......
As if!
