Bodie is a very gentle dog with the sweetest of natures, he is a good working dog and is out on the shoot with me during the shooting season . He is now really coming into his own as a great picking up dog , sitting quietly waiting till the end of the drives to go do his job 

. Bodie is also shown and has done a reasonable amount of winning, including gaining his junior warrant, therefore gaining his stud book number.I can’t believe he is now old enough that at his last show he went Best Veteran in show it was the GSP Club Open show  Bodie  is fully health tested. Hip score 3:4. Eyes clear. Heart tested by the pet blood bank where he has donated 14 times , sadly due to a minor issue he has had to retire from donating. . Bodie has sired some lovely puppies that have gone on to not only be good working dogs but also do some winning in the show ring too. Bodie  seems to pass on his calm sweet nature , all of which I can see in his son Bong who also lives with us. 

Bodie too enjoys scentwork and has gained his level 1 excellent but because he is such a sensitive boy I find he struggles with the pressure of trials and will false indicate just to please me , so we now very rarely compete now & just do it in training .Bodie has taken up Mantrailing and it took him a while to understand that we need to find the missing person ( he wasn’t completely convinced) but now he loves it and is coming on really well.
