Charway Summerain
Born 1st April 2003 — View pedigree

Summer was entrusted into my care by the late Janice Pritchard, and came to live with our family at the end of January 2006.

Over the years Janice had achieved great things in the showring, and was now looking to produce a true worker, whilst maintaining the Charway good looks.

Janice very much hoped that in Summer she had a Charway-bred dog that could field trial. We were working together on Summers next litter, and discussing the possibility of my taking over her field trial training, when Janices cancer recurrence was diagnosed.

With this in mind, following Janice's untimely death at the end of 2005 I decided to put the litter we were planning on hold, and to concentrate instead on Summers training, with the hope of being able to run her through the 2006 trialling season.

Going right back to basics, Summers progress has been extraordinary. For a three year old dog to take on board so much new information is a true measure of great personality, and a tremendous willingness to please.

As the summer progressed it became apparent to me that Summer was more than capable. Her list of successes can be seen on our awards page, culminating with winning a novice trial at the end of November 2006.

Janice would have been thrilled!

As well as competing, Summer is enjoying picking up three times a week during the shooting season, and living in the home with the others. She is now even brave enough to venture onto the sofa.....when invited!

Summer is a sweet, biddable girl, who just wants to be with you, no matter what you're doing.
