Babesiosis is a rare but serious tick-borne disease in the UK caused by parasites that infect red blood cells. It is transmitted by a tick called Dermacentor Reticulatus. Adequate tick prevention is the best form of protection.

Please remember, it takes 4-6 weeks to build up in your dogs system 🌱

Great post highlighting the importance of understanding working dogs who were bred to work.

You think I’m being difficult, but I’m not.

I’m being a gundog.

You see distraction, I’m reading scent, movement and information everywhere.

You see overexcitement, I feel drive with nowhere useful to go.

You see stubbornness, I’m conflicted between your cue and the world pulling at me.

You see poor settling, I haven’t learned how to switch off after being switched on.

You see bad behaviour, I’m showing you instinct without direction.

That’s the friction.

I’m not trying to make your life hard. I’m a working dog being asked to live like a pet dog. I’m being asked to live in that In Between.

Understand what I was bred for. Then learn to teach the dog you have in front of you.

I can be the dog you want, but only if you become the owner I need.

Love,

Your Dog xx

*PRESS RELEASE*

𝗛𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻!

Hector (Debra Harker’s lovely Gordon Setter, Sh Ch Hernwood Achilles at Ettrick JW VW) is continuing to belie his age with yet more wins as a Veteran.

At the Gordon Setter Association Championship show 2026 winning Best Veteran in Show was a highlight and then, in short time …

…… at the West of England Ladies Kennel Society Championship Show 2026 the pair did it in style again with Hector’s wins of Best Veteran in Breed … then winner of the Veteran Stakes (Gundog)!

WELKS, as it’s popularly known, was held at the beautiful Royal Welsh Showground on 23 to 26 April where the sun was shining and made for a pleasant time for all.

Hector had a brilliant start to his career with 6 x Best Puppy In Breed, including 2 breed shows and Crufts 2018, and became top Gordon in the country. Then came Bath Ch show where, at his first show in Junior, Hector won his class and then went on to win Reserve DCC. It was certainly a day to remember for Debra as it was unusual for such a young dog to take such high awards.

The Gordon Setter takes its name after the Duke of Gordon, who began developing Setters between 1800 and 1820 at Gordon Castle in Scotland.

Now, sadly classed by The Royal Kennel Club as a Vulnerable Native Breed, Debra and Hector’s spectacular career surely helps to gain fans by shining a spotlight on this beautiful breed and showing how fit and well an older dog can be.

Debra says, “Super proud of Hector and how good he looks, all down to CSJ which he has been on since a puppy.”

Fantastic feedback for Helen at End Cottage Kennels who supplies CSJ to Crufts champion, Harri and mum Glenys 💫

“I've been feeding my two Dobermanns CSJ for a while now, and honestly, I wouldn't use anything else. I get it through Helen, who is always brilliant — really helpful and knows her stuff, which makes a big difference.

As show dogs, their condition is everything. One of mine, Harri, is a Crufts champion, so keeping him (and my other Dobermann) in top condition is absolutely essential. Since being on CSJ, their coats are in fantastic condition, they hold great muscle tone, and their energy levels are spot on.
They both thrive on it - great appetites, no issues at all, and they maintain perfect condition with ease.

If you've got working or show dogs and want them looking and performing at their best, I'd highly recommend CSJ.”
