A grand opening... Introducing the Emblehope and Burngrange Estate; a dedicated new centre for working dogs By Alan Rountree

for the official opening of the estate. While this turned out to be impossible, nevertheless it was a blessing in disguise, as we found a better location beside Burngrange cottage giving us access to existing services. So, a marquee was in place to house the event pending construction of the lodge. Despite the shooting lodge not being in place the Kennel Club proceeded with the planned opening of the estate on the 2nd September 2017. This, the inaugural event for field trials at the estate, was built around a training field trial organised by the Scottish Field Trials Association. A number of guests were invited. The weather smiled on

t is hard to believe that the Kennel Club only obtained vacant possession of Emblehope and Burngrange Estate in March 2016. So much has happened in the meantime. The estate was badly in need of investment and so we put in fences and roads to make the place more accessible. Thereafter the most urgent work required was to bring Burngrange cottage into liveable condition to house the gamekeeper. This took longer than expected, but the outcome is good. In the meantime we began the search for a gamekeeper. Raymond Holt was employed, although the house was not ready for him or his wife. This was hardly ideal, but Raymond got on with the work required to put game on the ground for shooting in September 2017, eventually moving into Burngrange cottage in June 2017. The farm also required and still does require considerable investment. So far a new hay barn has been completed and there are plans for a further large animal handling facility. Our plans for a shooting lodge will also demand some new sheep handling pens. We had planned that the shooting lodge would be in place before the 1st September

Emblehope and could not have been better on the day. There were some speeches, as would be expected, and Simon Luxmoore unveiled a plaque, which will find its home on the wall of the new shooting lodge once it is completed. Raymond Holt had done a great job, and there was a more than adequate supply of game for the field trial/ training day and this bodes well for the rest of the season. Refreshments were available for everyone at the end of the day and the event was adjudged by all who took part as an enormous success. On the preceding Saturday the Kennel Club had offered the opportunity for members of the press and field trial secretaries to take a series of guided tours of the estate. These two days seem to have been successful in showcasing what the estate has to offer and there have been a number of enquiries about booking days later in the season. Of course the clement weather helped a lot, as the estate can be a wet and windy place! There are a number of blocks of forestry on Emblehope, one being Scadlaw, which more or less adjoins the Forestry Commission land at the North Eastern boundary and sweeps downhill towards Emblehope farm. The price for cut timber is strong at the moment and an opportunity has arisen for us in co-operation with the Forestry Commission to fell Scadlaw. Work on this is ongoing, but is expected to have profitable outcome. The intention is that the current pine woodland will be replaced with

a plantation of native woodland, forming part of our responsive management of the site and returning this area to a more natural state to encourage local wildlife populations.
The future So, where will the estate be in 12 months’ time? For us, it is essential for this project to deliver on the obligations in our agreement with Natural England. This means investment in the farm, both in buildings and machinery and supporting John Waugh, our farmer, and this will be a priority in 2018. John runs the farm single-handed and while the farm makes a small operating loss, as would be expected for any upland farm, it is the mainstay of the operation of the estate, as the livestock help maintain the condition of the moor. Overall, given the costs of work done, and scheduled to be done, currently the estate makes a small annual profit. This should improve in later years after the major infrastructure works are completed and the training facility comes into full operation. Having got the shooting started so successfully we hope to build on that success in 2018, and have a full calendar of events arranged before the beginning of next season. Bookings of grounds for field trials are arranged well in advance, as they have to fit in with the hosts’ shoot programmes. Because the estate is a dedicated centre of excellence we do not have that problem and will be able to take bookings on a first come first served basis. Indeed, the Emblehope and Burngrange Estate is certainly large

enough to accommodate more than one shooting/training party in one day, given sufficient personnel. The management team will continue to investigate opportunities in forestry. We have a number of woods ready for felling, but access is very difficult and felling and extraction has to be conducted within our agreement with Natural England. Bloodhound enthusiasts seem to like the estate and their trials can be accommodated outside the shooting season, as has already been proved. It is hoped that part of the ground capable of running working trials can be identified. It is intended that a grouse count will be undertaken when the opportunity occurs to give us some idea if there are grouse on the ground and if so how many. Emblehope and Burngrange Estate is a unique property as a dedicated centre of excellence for working dogs and now it is up and running and will develop into a flagship asset for the Kennel Club. ●

hen we started in dogs nearly 50 years ago, most of our outings were to open shows in the South East. These were flourishing affairs with, for our breeds, entries of up to 30 dogs, usually a specialist judge and plenty of quality on show. The ‘big names’ were invariably present with their young stock as well as those of us newer to the game or with more limited horizons when it came to travelling. Today, most of the main breeders have moved to areas nearer to the championship shows, breed classes are few and far between, seldom with a breed judge, half of the societies we used to support have died, and the others are confined to just a couple of venues in the region. It’s a similar situation in many breeds in many regions and it hasn’t helped that so much of the publicity surrounding shows has gone to championship show successes (something for which I’ve been as much to blame as anyone) so that those whose showing is concentrated at open level must feel rather neglected. No one would deny that it is about time the Kennel Club tried to boost the attendance at these shows, which have traditionally been the backbone of the British scene. Now we have a whole raft of changes to the show regulations and new incentives for the open showgoers and let’s hope that they can bring back a bit of glamour to these events. Among these is a change (and thank goodness a simplification) to the Junior Warrant, where open show points are now more easily achieved in the numerically
small breeds — though you may have to attend more shows to gain these points, which, of course, is the idea. Then we have, for adult dogs, the Show Certificate of Excellence, a modification of the old ShCM, which will be a real achievement now with twice as many points to attain, and an Open Show Winner title for dogs who gain both the JW and Excellence awards. Let’s hope the rare breeds also have the opportunity to gain all these awards after a few further tweaks to the regulations. Veterans are not forgotten, with their own special award from variety wins at open shows. Thank goodness, too, the rules for best puppy in show have been clarified, and indeed those for best in show at the non-group shows. ‘Premier’ open show status will be easier to achieve, encouraging
societies to schedule a wider variety of breeds with the incentive of Crufts qualifications for dogs placed in groups or puppy groups. Although ‘numbers’ of dogs gone over will no longer be so important for up and coming judges, they will still need to be observed at some stage and the new requirement for breed clubs to ‘support’ the entry for at least two open shows a year (principally by suggesting judges’ names) should also help the smaller shows. Let’s hope that exhibitors get back into the habit of competing at them. I must also mention a couple of other changes which go beyond open shows: firstly the long-awaited chance for imported register breeds to compete in the groups at all types of show, a major encouragement to those promoting breeds new to Britain; secondly ‘beginner’ exhibitors (those yet to win a CC) will have their own group judging at championship shows. There’s nothing quite like competing in the main ring! It will take a couple of years to see whether all these changes are achieving their aim. Let’s hope they do, for the British show scene would be much the poorer without the familiar network of open shows.

Could you be a Dog Detective? Being a volunteer foster carer can be a life-changing experience
By Revd. Bill King
I
t is probably true that most people, especially dog lovers have heard of Battersea Dogs Home, or to give the charity its correct title – Battersea Dog and Cats Home (BDCH). Founded in 1860, in its 157 year history it has cared for more than three million animals and the charity’s core mission is ‘never to turn away a dog or cat in need of our help.’ Over the years the charity has had a plethora of high profile supporters endorsing the great work Battersea does; not least among them is Paul O’Grady who fronts the award winning prime time ITV show ‘For the love of Dogs.’ This programme has run for five series and goes behind the scenes to look at the work Battersea does. The work of Battersea on many levels is inspiring and for London, Battersea might be said to be the ‘Mother Teresa’ organisation for distressed, and abandoned dogs. No dog is turned away regardless of breed or breed type. All are looked after with compassion, care and purpose with the objective being to help the dogs recover from their trauma and then be placed in ‘forever homes,’ where they can live out the remainder of their lives in a secure warm well-fed environment. Not all transitions from rescue and
care in the three centres run by Battersea, (London, Old Windsor and Brands Hatch) to ‘forever homes’ are done easily. Medical, behavioural problems or stress issues due to being in kennels means that some dogs need one-to-one care and rehabilitation. Since 2007 a group of foster care volunteers have taken individual dogs into their own homes to begin the agreed training
“The overriding quality needed by the foster carer is patience” and rehabilitation plan the dogs need. In addition to implementing the training plan, foster volunteers need to be ‘dog detectives’, who monitor, observe and report behaviour and/or change in behaviour. By providing this valuable feedback to the Battersea team – they usually meet weekly – the dog’s progress can be assessed and
training modified as appropriate. Detective work is vitally important, particularly with stray dogs, because with no known history Battersea have no handle on where the dog came from and how it was treated. Close observation in a home environment where the dog is treated with love, care and respect can enable the change in behaviours and habits needed for a successful rehoming. The overriding quality needed by the foster carer is patience. Learned behaviours take time to unlearn, and the more severe the dog’s experience creates a disproportionate effort and sheer hard slog to free the dog to enjoy a full life. Sometimes potential foster carers use the scheme as a form of ‘try before they buy’. At one level while the end product is a rehomed dog which is good for the dog, it can be a huge waste of the investment in training and time from the charity viewpoint. Fosterers are viewed as potential long-term volunteers and some foster care volunteers as they gain more experience, take on more difficult dogs. One such example is Chris McLean. Chris is considered to be the most trusted foster carer Battersea has and thanks to her calm and gentle handling of some of their

most traumatised dogs it is Chris that the team immediately think of whenever they have a vulnerable dog in need of additional care and nurturing. Chris joined Battersea in 2010 and provides a welcoming and reassuring home environment for those dogs that simply cannot cope in Battersea’s kennels. Chris, from Surbiton in Surrey combines a job as a community matron for people with
long-term illness with being a dog fosterer and started taking dogs into her home after getting Willow, her own Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Battersea. Since then, Chris has fostered a number of special cases that have required patience and dedication to show rescue dogs just how good life can be. Chris, her family, and their brood of five dogs have helped to rehabilitate some of Battersea’s neediest dogs that

required the company of their fellow canine friends before they could ever begin to trust humans again. George, a Bulldog had been living on a landing for two months before arriving at Battersea in May 2013 and during that time had not been walked at all. He was afraid to go out for a walk and needed Chris, a patient and devoted handler to gradually help him build his confidence. He was not

Bud, a foster dog
comfortable with formal handling and would often shut down, so he needed a handler to go slow and reassure him to show relaxed behaviour. He had little trust in new people, visitors worried him and he would remove himself from frightening situations, so it was important that he had a ‘safe place’ provided. He had little interest in toys, and may never have been introduced to them, but he did get on with other dogs, and it was felt that if he could observe the behaviours of confident and social dogs he would learn positive behaviours from them. Chris never quite knows what she is taking on, but every foster dog is embraced with a smile and enthusiasm to succeed. Diana, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed was completely shut down and was one of the most nervous dogs Battersea had ever seen until Chris taught her to trust humans again. Three months after arriving at the Home she left a different dog and is now enjoying a second chance in life in Cornwall. Progress with traumatised dogs is rarely quick and Chris says: “I do sometimes think ‘Gosh this dog is hard work’, but then you get those little moments, like when one of our foster dogs decided he was confident enough to sit beside my husband on the sofa. It was
so lovely to see him with his new family.” One breed that really benefits from fostering is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Staffords love being with people and they often find kennel life stressful, so short term fostering provides them with a much-needed break. Older or more sensitive dogs also benefit from being fostered, as well as those recovering from an operation or illness. Not only does Chris foster the dogs, she often ends up finding them homes as well. She has rehomed through her dog training class, friends on Facebook, and even at the hairdressers. It never ends there, Chris keeps in touch with her foster dog’s new family and regularly updates the Battersea team with pictures and progress. It is often overwhelming to see how far the dogs have come. Another dog foster carer, Anais was interviewed and when asked: “For you personally, what do you gain from fostering at Battersea?” she replied “Fostering for BDCH is an immensely rewarding and fulfilling experience, and ever since we opened up our home to our first foster dog, Geraldine, we never looked back. For me, the sense of achievement that comes from helping a dog or cat overcome challenges to
find a loving new home is unparalleled to any other form of volunteering. Expanding on her personal situation she went on to say: “Fostering has also played a vital role in helping combat loneliness. Having relocated from Texas to London, I deeply missed my network of friends and family, and struggled to reconcile feelings of homesickness and loneliness. Fostering for BDCH helped re-establish my sense of purpose, and helped me overcome loneliness as I acclimatised to life in a new city. Some of my closest friendships were forged over impromptu conversations about my foster dogs while out on walks, and I’m not sure how I would have been able to achieve the same quality experiences outside of fostering for BDCH.” Battersea has approximately 200 dog foster volunteers. In 2016, a total of 617 dogs were fostered. The time the dog stays in its foster home varies from two days to one year, with the average stay being two to three weeks. The charity is looking to recruit more foster care volunteers and is especially interested in people with dog experience – you gentle reader. All costs related to caring for the dog are paid for by Battersea, as are travel expenses and so for those of our readers who live within an hour’s drive of Battersea, Old Windsor and Brands Hatch; who may be interested in supporting this life-changing work for dogs in this unique practical and rewarding way please contact Charlotte Fielder, Head of Volunteering & Fostering, email info@ battersea.org.uk or telephone 0843 509 444.
