Success in business enabled me to retire early concentrate on dog work. Married, 3 kids - all grown up. I was Working Test secretary for the Midland Gundog Society for 6 years and then head trainer for 4 years and am still on the committee. I am also a member of 28 gundog clubs and societies.

Gundogs. Breeding, training, working [picking up], trialing, judging [B panel - retrievers] instructing. I have 8 Labradors at present. I enjoy a variety of shooting but usually as part of the dog training. I also have an intense interest and certificates in canine psychology. Plus a bit of fly fishing.
