Gundog Journal Magazine Volume VII Issue III Zurück Ausgabe

This issue of Gundog Journal brings together expert training advice and highlights from the summer’s most important gundog events. Ben Randall leads the Training Masterclass by asking if you and your dog are ready to compete in field trials, identifying the skills needed to make the step up. Vet’s Corner focuses on knee joint problems and cruciate ligament issues, while additional features provide guidance on spotting common poisons in the field and handling the dreaded problem of a dog swapping birds on a shoot day.
The issue also offers a wide range of perspectives on gundog life beyond the training ground. From safe travel tips and product guides to interviews with artists and authors inspired by their dogs, the issue reflects the deep connection between working dogs and their handlers. Event coverage includes the Game Fair, the Pointer and Setter Champion Stake, the GWCT Scottish Game Fair, and the inaugural Muntjac Trading Young Gundog Handlers Day, all of which showcase the skill, spirit and passion that define the gundog world.
