Gundog Handlers
Andrew Cullen MBE
Andrew and his wife Tracy have a small professional Gundog training business – however they are unique in that they have clients from all over the UK and Europe training with them.
Andrew really started ‘in dogs’ from a young age, as a kennel boy with Spaniels and Labradors and has now worked and trained gundogs for over 20 years ……………
Biggest successes along the way
Andrew says his most memorable success was winning a Field Trial with a rescued GSP, also getting the Guns award from Her Majesty the Queen’s Gamekeepers with the same rescued dog at Windsor in a Field Trial.
He says although he has had awards for clients with Spaniels, Retrievers and HPRs, he believes his main success is seeing Laochin trained Gundogs go on to being well behaved dogs in the shooting field.
Little Heros in Scotland
The kennel has moved from Buckinghamshire to new, bigger kennels in Scotland on a beautiful estate called The Cromlix Estate – famous in years gone by for its gundogs and gundog field trials etc.
Laochin gundogs have expanded and offers a whole range of training, including specialist training for the HPR breeds and Pointer Setters.
The kennel currently consists of Spaniels, Labradors and Hprs and a Pointer,some are clients’ dogs in training – the aim is to consistently provide gundog training for all types of gundogs and all types of people.
The kennel name, Laochin, means ‘little heros’ in Gaelic.
Background in training
Andrew has a military background and a large part of this was as an instructor. This has helped him to train individuals and groups alike to achieve the required results for both the client and their gundogs.
Some dogs are trained specifically for field trials and working tests but the majority of clients simply want well behaved gundogs for their shooting interests. This can range from picking up, beating, rough shooting or as a peg dog for driven shooting.
Andrew believes in consistency as being the key to having a well-trained Gundog.

Customers' Views
Heal works! Great value too!
I just wanted to write to say how impressed and pleased I am with "Heal". My Boxer, Amber has always had a delicate stomach and would often be off her food 2-3 times a week, waking me up in the night to go outside with a gurgling tummy, eating grass and looking thoroughly fed up until late afternoon when she would recover and start eating.
Since starting her on "Heal" she no longer disturbs us at night to go outside and only has a sore tummy very occasionally...maybe once or twice a month at the most, which is a vast improvement!! and means that I get my sleep!!
When I finished the first tub of "Heal" it took me about a month to get round to re-ordering, and during that time she went back to having a sore stomach a few times a week, which just confirmed to me that the herbs really do soothe and calm her digestive system and since starting them again she has been fine.
I am also impressed with the value for money compared to other herbal products. The tubs are massive and last for ages, and smell really nice too.
Many thanks
Susan
