Shade is a granddaughter of our lovely Summer, and is a daughter of a bitch bred by us, Ardenbrook Summer Sun (Tilly). Tilly is owned by a good friend David Edkins, who bred the litter. Tilly is regularly worked and shot over throughout the shooting season, and is also a seasoned wildfowler.
Shade is a girl who is enthusiastic about everything, whether that is training or cuddling. Even though she is so enthusiastic about Life, The Universe and Everything in general she is an extremely sweet natured and biddable girl. Sometimes her enthusiasm can get her into trouble though, at which point you'd think her world was coming to an end. This usually involves trying to squeeze herself up onto your lap and tucking in under your chin - as she's quite a big, solid girl this can make for an interesting experience!
Shade is also very bright, and loves nothing more than learning new things. Once again though, her enthusiasm can catch her out - "I know, I know what you want mum...". She's so keen to do something for you she will try to anticipate what it is, and it's impossible to be cross with her when she guesses wrong.
I had hoped to run her in competition during summer 2016, and perhaps trial in the winter, but a broken ankle put paid to that. So all being well we're now aiming for summer 2017 onwards.
