Elizabeth and Edward continue to have day by day control and care of every dog in the kennels whether it be for training, boarding or breeding. Over the years some excellent staff have come and gone but the continuity and high standards are maintained by the Martins close attention to detail.

Breeding

Through a very selective breeding technique of both English Springer Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers, they have gained an excellent reputation for producing sound, good looking stock. An amenable character is regarded as highly important along with an excellent working ability in both field and trial. Sealpin have provided breeding stock for both the UK and The Royal Dutch, Guide Dogs for the Blind. The dogs temperaments have proved ideal for their breeding programmes.

Gun-dog Training

Attention to detail and maintaining control right from puppy's first training session is paramount in Edwards training schedule. All dogs must be thoroughly obedient in each discipline before moving on to the next stage of training.

The standard achieved with each dog, depends entirely upon its own natural ability, the skill is in achieving the best possible potential from any dog. All dogs vary enormously in their characters, stamina and intellect. There's no promise of silk purses from sow's ears here at Sealpin but you'll go a long way before finding training to equal Edwards high standards let alone better them.
