The new decade has
started with some extraordinary weather, but whilst we humans
struggle, our dogs seem to be having a great time! We have received some
lovely photos of your dogs enjoying the snow.
Katie Evans has sent us a
picture of her two year old springer 'Biscuit' enjoying the snow.
Biscuit is currently training for her Grade Four
Hunting Retriever
Award, and was going out for a retrieve when this
photo was taken

Its 'business as usual'
for six year old cocker Meg, and rabbit for supper for her
owner. Retrieving rabbits is Meg's favourite job, though
being a 'soft Hampshire girl' she has never had to cope with
anything quite like this before!

Pictures
of 4 month old Woody were sent in by his owner Kim
Watkins. Kim lives near a canal and so
Woody has to be on a lead near the frozen water
Once away
from the canal, Woody gets a chance to play in
the snow
Kim says
that Woody's recall is excellent and he loves to
hunt scent. Woody has his
introductory training session in a few weeks
and Kim is looking forward to seeing how he gets on |
