We are delighted to be in association with Harry. Harry has helped us test and develop products over the years. His feedback and support have been invaluable.

More about Harry

I live on the Staffordshire, Shropshire & Worcestershire border and help to manage the family Estate. My interests and responsibilities include the Farm, Forestry and all sporting aspects including our grouse moor in the peak district. I have always loved shooting and country sports and became interested in dogs about 20 years ago.  I enjoy many different parts of shooting life and my dogs have to be multipurpose from sitting on the peg to tracking deer, they won’t win a trial but they’ll do everything I want them to do! I have Labradors and spaniels and a couple of lurchers but would consider myself a Labrador man at heart!

My dogs are required to be well behaved while hosting days shooting, pick up when required, sit on the peg when I am shooting, sit quietly in the pigeon hide, accompany me while stalking and having to track when necessary, join me duck flighting and be good family friends!

I first acquired the knack of training retrievers from a very basic but comprehensive video by Stan Harvey and from there I have picked up things on the way that suit me. I am definitely not a professional trainer but like to help friends out with their dogs, occasionally sell a trained dog and every now and then breed a litter of pups.
