Here’s a video summary of the first demo we staged this year. It was a charity event held at a private house on the same day as THE Royal Wedding when most of the population was glued to the box! I went on my own and took only half the team of dogs we normally take.

I knew my good friend Ernie McKenna was videoing the event, but I had no idea he would spend weeks editing the 40 minute show into this brief snapshot.

Like many people watching themselves on video, I cringed when I watched it. But it does give a flavour of what we do, with the emphasis much more on education and entertainment than showing off robotic gundogs doing things that may be beyond the average pet dog owner.

Anyway, cringeworthy or not, here it is – just me and 3 dogs having fun!

Here we go again – always our favourite show of the year, Buckham Fair near Beaminster, Dorset, takes place this year on 19 August.

Martin Clunes’ annual fair is in its 10th year and he’s expecting over 20,000 people at this wonderfully relaxed and friendly show with the biggest array of dogs’ and horses’ events – all done for charity. The schedule in the multiple arenas is mind-blowing, from every shape and size of horse, to fun dog competitions – even a world record attempt at the most number of dogs to sit to a single command! I think there are 11 rings for the horse and fun dog events alone, many judged by Martin Clunes himself together with his badly-behaving partner, Neil Morrissey. 

Just take a look at the map to see how amazing this event is:

We’ll be located in the Dog Village (bottom of the map) and we’re performing in the main display ring at 2.15, right after the sheepdog and duck display (more tempting titbits for the dogs!) with our new routine. 

Parking is free, entrance is only £8 and children under 16 go free. It really is one of the best family-oriented and fun Country Fairs of the year and a must for all horse and dog lovers. Check out the website for more details: https://www.buckhamfair.co.uk

Please come along and see my dogs behaving badly!
