About Us

About Us:

I obtained my first Labrador in 2002, with the intention of training her up to accompany me on the foreshore. However her training went well and she turned out to be a wonderful companion in the shooting field who is still enjoying her days in the shooting field.

Since then I have trained, competed in, and won novice field trials with Labradors, Springers and Cockers. I also have won the West Dartmoor Open springer stake in October 2007. This qualified me to run my bitch Cherygal Spirit of Fowlersmoon in the 2008 Springer Spaniel Championship which was held at Conhalt Park near Andover.

1st place with Olivertash Dakin at the Berkshire Downs and Chiltern Golden Retriever Club novice field trial on 7th December 2009.

After having spent some a considerable amount of time training and competing with labradors, and both springer and cocker spaniels I have now decided to concentrate my future efforts on labradors. It has taken a very long time to reach this decision as I really enjoy my spaniels however I am certain it is the right decision for me.

We now have a small number of high quality dogs and bitches in the kennels. These have all been carefully selected on the basis of there pedigree, health tests and working ability. All of the Labradors I have are both Optigen and cnm clear.

We currently have a FTCh x FTCh yellow labrador dog available at stud, and we also have a very promising young FTCh x FTCh black labrador dog coming on ready for training this year. I also will have the occasional part trained/trained dogs for sale, and I will on occasions have a litter of pups from proven parents for sale.

Since being made redundant in 2009 I am now splitting my time between my dogs and working as a Registered Firearms Dealer. I can obtain to order any new gun required and I also have a number of pre-owned guns for sale. Please see www.fowlersmoonguns.co.uk for more information. I am a member of Gloucestershire Wildfowlers, an Associate member of Morecombe Bay Wildfowlers, a member of the Oakhampton Woodcock club and in excess of 50 field trial societys. To go on a fowling trip carrying an old big bore wildfowling gun is the ultimate sporting experience. It matters not if you pull the trigger as the foreshore is full of sights and sounds that make every trip memorable.

The name Fowlersmoon Guns was taken by the title of one of the best wildfowling books ever written, this book, entitled Fowlers’ Moon, was written in 1955 by Nigel Thornycroft. The author takes you through the highs and lows of each trip and it captures the real magic of wildfowling. In the Foreword he writes:

“Yet to these I hope this book may still give pleasure, not through the second hand absorption of my little thrills, but by stirring some chord leasing to personal and private memories – the only sort worth having.
Yes it was on such a night- and presently the book will fall unheeded, its aim accomplished, while in the fire grows skeins and troops and companies and the air seems full of music.
There is my hope.”

I think anyone wildfowler who has read this book will agree he succeeded
