A 4.30am alarm call meant an early start to the day for Steve & Dora as they hit the road in horrible rainy conditions to compete in the Leconfield Working Spaniel Club’s Open A/V Stake held at the Peppering Shoot, Norfolk Estate, Arundel by kind permission of His Grace, The Duke of Norfolk.  The weather was testing both windy and rainy, and the ground was mixed with strips of cover crop, woodland and bramble.  There was plenty of game, both birds and hares.  The guns shot well and after a retrieve on a loose bird and flushed bird on her first run, Dora had a hare flush and retrieve on her second run.



After the judges had compared their books Steve and Terri Siwek with her FTCH Shiveck Time Twiddler were called forward for a run off, and Terri was awarded the win with Dora taking 2nd place  so proud of Dora  three of her litter mates were also awarded COM’s - a good day for the Shiveck kennels taking 5 awards
