Trochry Gun Dogs are breeders & professional trainers of English Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels & Labrador Retrievers.
Based in Oxfordshire, Trochry Gun Dogs are devoted to breeding, training and field trialing working with spaniels and retrievers, the most popular working dogs used in the field today.
Their dogs are trained and worked on the Blenheim Palace Estate shoots. Not all owners of gundogs get to see what is expected from the dogs on shooting days, so the aim is to demonstrate the extent of work carried out by the dogs at the Living Heritage Country Fairs.
Shown in a simulated shooting environment and demonstrating what is expected from a working gundog along with the high standards of training that need to be achieved. The displays also demonstrate some of the basic techniques used in early training which also apply to dogs as pets.
