Gundog Handlers

Suzy Burton

How did you first become involved with the dogs Suzi?

Suzi: I got started ‘by accident’ ……….

  • I got my first Weimaraner in 1994 because I’d looked after one previously…..
  • Was then dragged to a Gundog training class
  • Soon became hooked (she was far too good for me but I gained an awful lot of knowledge from her)
  • I blagged my way onto a shoot in order to use her…...
  • Took up shooting
  • I also showed her …..
  • She was eventually made up to Ch Silberstern Moonlight von Trubon, ‘Jally’
  • Jally became my foundation bitch……

Which dogs and breeds do you own now?

Suzi: Currently 4 Weimaraner bitches at home and 3 dogs with co-owners, plus 1 Teckel bitch at home.

What do you consider your most memorable moment?

Suzi: I have two very special moments - making up a Champion with my first dog, and getting my first field trial award.

What other successes have you had?

Suzi:

From Ch Silberstern Moonlight von Trubon - my Weimaraner Ch and first bitch: -

‘A’ litter (by UK field trial line, 1.5.99):
Medoc (Trubon Asko Truman) got VJP, HZP and VGP in Germany. He and brothers Jester (Trubon Argent Treat) and Casper (Trubon Arco Trident) won UK GWT awards.
My bitch Fenny multiple WCGB/WA Top Field Trial dog.

‘B’ litter (by German VGP dog, 13.12.02):
Exported 2 to Germany - Aloxe and Birko passed VJP and HZP tests (Trubon Bialoxe Traum and Trubon Birko Truc); Kaos (Trubon Bikaos Tryst) multiple WCGB/WA and Gundog League Top Agility Dog.
My bitches Bibe (Trubon Bibe Tres) multiple WCGB/WA Top Field Trial dog, 1st Novice GWT and German tests VJP and HZP; Hana (Trubon Bren Tartuf) 1st Novice GWT and German tests VJP and HZP.

All my bitches were graded at Spring Pointing Tests, all worked on shoots picking up, on the peg and shot over.

‘C’ litter (by English/Dutch working dog, 12.06.06):
Too young to tell as yet, but 2 in German, 1 in Icelandic field homes, 2 in UK field homes, 2 in agility trainers’ homes… let’s see!

Teckels - Ubine vom Schutthause (German Import) aka Teasel:-

 

I have taken her to Germany to run in Youth Trial and Field Trial (including blood track) - she won 1st Prize in each and only needs one more to become an International Working Champion (IACh).

Had 2 litters, to stalkers.

Are you involved in any other canine activities?

Suzi: Yes……..

Training for HPRs, occasional Spaniels and Labs in groups and one-to-one.

Boarding and in-house training - one or two at a time.

Occasional breeding for working homes only (‘D’ litter from half-German bitch planned).

Selling CSJ products

Do you have any comments about CSJ feeds?

Suzi:  I don’t ‘do’ endorsements but in this case I believe in CSJ, having tried out most of their foods on my dogs over the past year. Result is glossy coats, appropriate energy levels and no e-numbers or revolting contents to worry about… even the ‘fussy eaters’ dive in. And half the price of ‘premium’ foods!

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
