- Episode Ten - With the pheasants flying high over the British countryside we join Picker Upper & Gundog Trainer Kev Jenkins owner of Dafarn Galed Gundogs, as he explains the vital role gundogs play on shoot days.
Welcome to a Great British Shooting, here we celebrate all that is great about shooting in Britain. From world-renowned driven shoots on prestigious country estates, through to walked up "rough shoots" on farms and smallholdings, we meet some of the incredible characters that bring our shooting days together.
The Bodidris Shoot Estate is set within the beautiful surroundings of Denbighshire, North Wales and offers shooters quality driven game on a traditional family run sporting estate. The atmosphere is always upbeat and friendly, as the team are dedicated to providing professional and friendly services, making sure everyone involved has the best day shooting possible.
Gundogs are an essential part of any driven shoot day; they not only can reach difficult areas such as undergrowth’s, they can help locate lost or injured game. It also would be unethical not to have dogs on driven days.
Kev’s role on shoot days is to stand behind the guns and collect all the birds that have been shot.
Before any gundogs can be taken on a driven shoot day they need extensive training.
One of the most challenging aspects of training gundogs would be teaching them steadiness. It's essential that the dogs know the birds are there to be hunted and pushed forward - but for the dogs not to, what is called, peg them (i.e. catch the birds themselves). The only time a gundog should have a bird in its mouth is on a retrieve.
Kev loves nothing more than building a strong relationship with his gundogs - “Getting to see a puppy that has been specifically chosen from a litter go through extensive training to the point where they can confidently retrieve a bird is the best feeling in the world”.

Loved seeing a video aimed more towards the working dog side of the sport. Fantastic 👌🏼
I have worked on this shoot with Kev and all I can say is he is a true gent and certainly shows his love and passion to his dogs and the sport, a truelly awesome guy with superb working dogs, well done team wild for showing kev and his team of dogs at work,,well done
Absolutely first class film credit to all involved I don't dislike Anti,s I feel a bit sorry for them.To have never experienced a beating line,watching game harvested with fantastic shooting,talking to the keeper it's just lovely sort of my nirvana to be out in the countryside a pocket full of cartridges and something for the pot if we are lucky at the end of the day,a roaring fire,drink and good company.We need more of these videos.
What a lovely short film.
+carolyncjones73 Thank you :)
Another great video Team Wild TV. The ex army dog trainer is great and you can see he puts his heart and soul into his dogs. As Ex RSPCA, I can see how well trained and cared for the dogs are and how they love to work in a team Man/Dog. Bravo again and looking forward to your next videos.

Thank You all for your comments ,.. and thank you Team Wild for making the filming such a great experience !!
+kev jenkins Thanks Kev, we really enjoyed working with you :)
First time I have watched this film. It was brilliant. More of the same please.
got a bit emotional watching this. Can't wait to get mine working (5month old wocker)
why do people look at country sports channels and then recoil in horror when they see animals being shot it's what happens!! If you don't like these video,s don't watch them.Very interesting video of key players with whom there would be no sport so well done to all involved.
+Tony Ashton Thank you :)
Thank You
Exactly why I got mine
Great vid! Does anyone know where i can get Kevs jumper?
At 52 seconds where did Kev get that jumper from, or what make is it? 👍 thanks
good video again, only downside is i was finding it hard to listen to the guy while that music is playing, i dont mind the music playing but it could do with being turned down a little bit so people can hear the bloke talking clearly.
+josh armstrong Thank you for your feedback, we'll look into it for the next episode.
Nice video thanks for sharing. Hope you can show a little more just focusing on the picker up rather than the shooter.
George.
+dinkydod1 Thank you for your feedback, we'll look into for future episodes :)
Why's he letting his dogs run in during the drive and when throwing a dummy? Can't be the best handled out there!!!
