Guns and Gun Dogs were very proud to be a sponsor of The Kennel Club’s 78th English Springer Spaniel Championship Field Trials organised by The Spaniel Club. The Judges (Steve Bolton, Will Clulee, Greg Ford and Ivan Wilson) made a popular choice of winner in FTCh Clover Amethyst, owned and handled by Andy Platt, who won not only 1st place but also “Best Bitch” and “Dog Placed Highest in Awards whose Handler is Competing for the First Time”.

Help for Heroes

Guns and Gun Dogs Ltd have chosen Help for Heroes as their charitable cause for 2008.
“What is H4H all about? It’s about the blokes. It’s about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes.”Bryn Parry, Appeal Chairman
From 1 May 2008, 25p from every ad placed on www.gunsandgundogs.com will be gifted to Help for Heroes. Further donations can be made by visiting www.helpforheroes.org.uk

Do dogs get depression …? Just like humans, dogs can suffer from bouts of depression. They get mopey, lethargic, stop eating, drink only minimal amounts of water, stop wanting to play and even lose drastic amounts of weight.
Grief, change of scenery, or even the weather can adversely affect a normally happy dog. When your dog needs energy or just a general boost, CSJ’s Come On! herbal supplement could provide the answer – as it has for top agility competitors Ann & Stuart Harmes …
“Meg our 13 year old bitch’s activity is now seriously restricted and although she has only ever been a pet we try hard to ensure that her quality of life is good and she remains happy. Meg can get grumpy as she is often in pain and will frequently elect to stay by the fire especially if it is raining or too cold! I have given Meg ‘Come on!’ and even my sceptical husband, Stuart, has been astounded by the change in her! It is truly remarkable! She wants to come for walks and today she has played ball in the snow! It is so nice to see her alert, happy and enjoying life! This product comes highly recommended by Meg! It has certainly made a difference!”Ann Harmes
Come On! is a totally natural product formulated using human grade herbs - it has to be one of the best tonics around and smells absolutely wonderful. Show dog owners are using this product for helping to get their dogs in tiptop condition while others believe it has given their lethargic dogs ‘a new lease of life’. For more information on the combination of herbs in this, or the rest of CSJ’s herbs, treats and working dog foods, visit www.csjk9.com or ring 01745 710470.

By the way ….
Nicola Heron, a GB Shooting Team member is protesting about the 2012 Olympic Shooting Sports Arena. If you are not already aware, £18 million is being spent on building, then pulling down, a state of the art shooting arena for the 2012 Olympics. Nicola is petitioning No 10 against this immoral waste of money that leaves no legacy for the shooting sports after the Olympics. Every year, the Great Britain shooting teams bring home medals from competing in ISSF and FITASC disciplines worldwide … surely it deserves a lasting legacy?
