New sponsors - The Working Dog Company

Following a chance meeting at The Midland Game Fair, a new business relationship has been struck. Mullenscote Gundogs from Andover, Hampshire are now working with The Working Dog Company who are based in Hertfordshire.
“We pulled into the trade stand area at The Midland Game Fair in the pitch dark, we had no chance of finding our stand, but Ian from the Working Dog Company recognised our plight and came out to help us,” said Howard Kirby of Mullenscote. “We immediately struck up a friendship and the next day visited Ian and Jill on their stand. The Working Gundog companies grounding breaking Pheasant and Partridge Retriever training dummies caught my eye. Ian gave us a couple of the dummies to try out and we were really impressed.”

“The dogs love the dummies, shaped and weighted like a bird and made in the shape of a rugby ball the dummy bounces erratically as it hits the ground.” “Our busy Dog Training Centre means that all of our training equipment gets some very heavy use. The dummies are used everyday here at Mullenscote and we are just delighted to be able to supply them to our clients.”

“We too are delighted to be associated with Howard and his team at Mullenscote Gundogs and Lains Shooting School,” said Ian Clinton of the Working Dog Company. “Our dummies are given a real test at this top class training school, one which Howard has said they pass with flying colours. Our aim was to manufacture a retrieving dummy that would replicate the shape and feel of the game birds which we wanted our dogs to retrieve and be both hard wearing and durable to withstand the rigours of continued use out in the field.”

“We are thrilled that Mullenscote wish to use our dummies as part of their plans for continued business success, we look forward to developing a working business partnership with them in the future.”
