Hot temperatures – for weeks – characterise this summer as well on the Continent as in England.
Some like it hot…

That means for the dogs: collars off... 
...and enjoy a cool bath in the pond... 
...or a lovely walk at the beach! 
Therefore we had the idea to set off to "cool" Scotland... 
...to meet some old and new Swedish friends. 
It was really a good and "hot" idea - in the truest sense of the word! 
Fortunately the training ground at Glenisla at Graham Slater - Oakshot Gundogs- offers everything... 
...everything a (retriever) heart desires - including water! 
Graham never tires to give us a lot of tips for the Novice dogs... 
...and to set challenging tests for our Open dogs! 
Summary: dream weather, dream setting, dream ground... - any time again! 
In return, Inga-Lena and Leif are visiting us at Whitethorn together with Carina, Kenneth, Karina and Leif... 
...and of course we train our dogs (pictured: Leif with Falcon in the lovely landscape of Farndale). 
It is vey dry - even in North Yorkshire... 
...but the heather is blooming... 
...and it is a must to do some photographs! 
Finally a photo from Falcon, Fake and their mother Zoe. 
And now it is time to say goodbye and to wait... 
...to wait for the next visitors: Maja, Jessica and brother Flynn. 
And as another surprise: a training session with Fake's yellow brother Fenton... 
A real family affair with strong winds - how hot is that?!? 
Not as hot as expected was the lunar eclipse end of July - we had storm and rain (finally)... 
...but the next evening was beautiful - and we even saw the full moon!
