I have been involved with training & competing gundogs since 1986 and formed the name Brindlebay Gundogs in 1988. Since then I have won over fifty field trials and made up 5 Field Trial Champions.

The first being a black bitch FTCh Hamford Dixie of Brindlebay then followed by her daughter a yellow bitch FTCh Brindlebay Maize, next came FTCh Bringwood Bobby of Brindlebay who of course won the much coveted I.G.L championship. Following Bobby's success I bred Brindlebay Jude who gained his FTCh status after winning six trials. My latest champion a black bitch FTCh Mansengreen Bizzy of Brindlebay she won 9 trials. I am currently competing with her son Brindlebay Butler who is now an Open stake winner. At this present time I am chairman of the Suffolk gundog club. I am an A panel Kennel Club judge for retrievers judging in the UK and abroad, having now judged in 7 different countries including the prestigious Coup d'Europe, the Belgium retriever championship and the International Working Test 3 times. In 2004 I judged the CLA International Working Test at Blenhiem Palace. In 2008 I was a member of the winning team in the UK Euro Challenge Working Test held at Blenheim Palace running my black dog Brindlebay Butler. Sara Gadd and I run a joint kennel in Suffolk.
