Bailey was our boy of a lifetime, he was a gentleman in everything he did and he was very laid back with a superb temperament. Bailey was shown for several years and was placed consistently at Open and Champ shows. Bailey qualified for Crufts twice in 2010, after being placed third in two good sized classes at the Gundog Breeds Association of Scotland Champ show. He showed a natural working ability and picked up on various shoots with me for six years. As well as picking up, he also worked the beating line. Bailey was shown at Crufts, both in the breed ring and the BASC Gamekeepers ring. He passed the Kennel Club GCDS awards - Bronze, Silver and Gold. In 2015, Bailey competed in a Club Novice working test and scored 62 points out of 80, with no zero scores. We were very proud of him as he was really tested on the day but he did very well. He was called 'old faithful' on the shoot as he was quiet, steady and dependable and always found wounded birds. He was loved by everyone that met him.​
Bailey was an experienced stud dog and he did the breed proud. He consistently passed on his laid back temperament and good health results. Fifty of his offspring have been hip scored and only three have hip scores above the breed average. He was DNA tested NOT to carry the dilute gene, so didn't ever produce dilute coloured puppies. He has particularly good estimated breeding values - see photo opposite. Bailey has progeny in France, Denmark, Sweden and the UK and some are shown and are Crufts qualified and one of his sons has a CC, while several others are being worked. The majority of his offspring are happy, healthy much loved family pets. We are very proud that six of Baileys pups, from several different litters have gone to Canine Partners to be trained as assistance dogs, while another one is a diabetic alert dog and several more are Pets as Therapy dogs. His daughter Emma passed her KC Working Gundog certificate, aged almost 15 months old. ​  ​
On 19th September 2016, our world fell apart and we had to say goodbye to our boy. He was taken far to soon and we won't ever get over losing him so early in his life. Bailey was our dog of a lifetime and we are so proud to have bred such a lovely boy who will live on in his children. We are very proud of his offspring, especially in the ones that do assistance work. Bailey and I spent six years picking up on various shoots together and the bond we had was unbreakable. We loved every second of it and I will always have those memories. He was the kindest, sweetest boy and he genuinely didn't have a nasty bone in his body. We are delighted to have his daughter Emma here, produced from frozen semen after he died. Rest in peace buddy, you will never be forgotten, run free with Lucy and Hazel xxx
