Personality:

Kelsey is a sweet, loving, acquiescent individual, who was swift to learn and always eager to please. She showed good early potential with regard to gundog training, sound, obedient and responding quickly to the whistle. She retrieved well both on land and water, was happy to carry and swam like a professional lifeguard at the tender age of eleven weeks. She sat quite happily on the decking on fireworks night, watching without any sign of fear or apprehension as the night sky lit up around us with all the accompanying noise, colour and excitement. She sailed through her Kennel Club Bronze certificate at just six months old despite never having attended a class. She’s a compete poppet and as much loved by her canine companions as she is adored by us.

Sadly she has not enjoyed the most robust of health and persistent problems with her hocks have left her somewhat lame and incapacitated, however her competitive spirit was not diminished.  In earlier years she was determined to reach the ball first, or indeed whatever we had cast for them to retrieve from the water.  Like all my girls she was in her element in the sea or river although old age and arthritis have now really taken their toll.  However she is still game to hobble alongside on our daily walks and is happy to paddle about the shallows.  She has never had puppies, but was besotted with both litters in 2011, Sadie’s litter in 2014 and hopefully will continue to excel in her role of indulgent maiden aunt, surrogate sitter and playmate with pups when we are graced with another litter here at Calacarey.
