Sammie the Chessy aged 9. Taken last year.
Sammie again; showing the finer arts of deer tracking.
And Bracken the young Chessie pup. Here aged 7 months and taken last month. This one is showing great promise and has many retrieves to her credit.
Me and my team above go to a lot of formal shoots picking up over here in England. Typically 2 or 3 days a week, (last year it was 4 or 5 days a week but we cut back a bit), so each will get several hundred birds to pick each season. Not a bad life for a dog! And the owner isn't complaining either. Lagopus.....
