Dog & Field

In the last couple of weeks I have started training Pepper, an 18 month old Cocker Spaniel. Pepper is a late starter and although will never make a trialing dog she is showing enough promise to perhaps make a very smart little rough shooting dog one day.  Out with my good friend Matt,  Matt Ager Pet &Gundog , i n the space of a week, she has gone from not being interested at all in retrieving, to now being fairly keen at hunting a tennis ball out and returning with it.  We have been mixing this up with a little steadiness work: although this is not key at this stage, as I am trying to gee her up and put a little drive into her.  Pepper will be a challenge, she has been part of the family for sometime, however I am excited. Training Snipe, my Labrador is very regimented with lots of straight lines and strict handling, to have Pepper as a little side project is going to be a lot of fun.  I'm sure this could become a long and frustrating road for the both

Love shooting duck & need a QUICK recipe to enjoy your evenings success...  We did this on Sunday, delicious... Duck Pancakes. Cut out the breasts, skin removed, cut into very slim slices, separate into 2 bowls Heat up a drop of olive oil in a pan, add a good splash of 1 of the below sauces & throw in the 1st bowl of duck, these will be your cooked through duck slices Keep the duck on the move, if it's getting too hot add more sauce, to keep the duck moist Buy a hoisin sauce (traditionally used) or the plum sauce (we find this so yummy to actually cook the duck in, so try it you might like it) Add your 2nd bowl of duck and 2 more teaspoons of sauce, the first bowl of duck will be browned, the 2nd bowl will be a more tender option, only cook for a further 2 mins and remove pan  I feel this makes a nice combo while eating together in the wrap Let it rest in the sauce off the heat, for 20 mins Cut 1 bunch of spring onions into matchsticks ½ cucumber halved, seeds
