Based in North East England, I began training and working Labradors and Spaniels for picking up in the shooting field. This progressed to competing in local working tests with Labradors and subsequently retriever field trials.
I have represented the England Retriever Gundog Team with: FTCh Lowforge Aragon Of Leacaz, FTCh Troddenmills Beck And Call Of Leacaz FTW Lowforge Glenaveigh Of Leacaz I am delighted to have trained Four Field Trial Champions in the Leacaz Kennels and am very proud of all my dogs.
As a Kennel Club 'A' panel Field Trial Retriever judge; I have judged working tests and field trials throughout the UK and Europe. I can provide training sessions for groups and individuals; which take place on a variety of ground and terrain. I also take part in Gundog demonstrations such as the Galloway Fair at Drumlanrig Castle. I occasionally have Labrador and Spaniel pups available with details on the litters page. Should you require details of stud dog services or part trained dogs available, please get in touch. |
After a few trial awards in September 2024, JED WON the Dukeries Gundog Club 2 day Open trial at Emblehope & Burngrange Estate making him a FIELD TRIAL CHAMPION and qualifiying him for the 2024 I.G.L. (JED already had attained a B qualification) Then TWO DAYS after, his very next trial - Carmarthenshire's 24 dog Open at Hy-Fly, HE WON AGAIN! Back to back wins. And on the 19th October he WON HIS 3RD OPEN FIELD TRIAL AT THE KENNEL CLUB'S EMBLEHOPE AND BURNGRANGE ESTATE and to cap it off - with his 4th win in a row - JED WINS THE SCOTTISH FIELD TRIAL ASSOCIATIONS 2 DAY STAKE. He is some dog - and still only 3 years old! |
