A huge thank you to Huw Jones of Ffynongain Gundogs for hosting a fantastic training day today on his superb ground.

The day was packed with learning opportunities, great dog work, and plenty of laughs along the way. Huw's knowledge, experience, and relaxed approach made for an enjoyable and educational day for everyone involved.

It was wonderful to see the dogs producing some really impressive work throughout the exercises, with handlers and dogs alike benefiting from the experience. Just as importantly, the good-natured banter and sense of humour shared by everyone made the day even more enjoyable.

On behalf of the Large Munsterlander Association, thank you, Huw, for your time, hospitality, and expertise. We are extremely grateful for your support and for providing such an excellent venue for the day.

We look forward to seeing you all again at future events!
