FTW Spinnakeu Feather of Mekoro

Isla is one of those dogs who will live in your memories and heart for as long as you go on. Every retrieve where I held my breath, the round of applause from galleries, guns and friends and the little grin she used to give me when I would send her for a retrieve, knowing she wouldn’t let me down, will be forever etched into every part of what I do. Sometimes when I train young dogs (grand-children of Isla’s especially), I think, what would Isla do… She was the most amazing but often frustrating dog (bitch!) that I have ever worked with. Stubborn but driven. Natural but biddable. She enjoyed every test/ trial and picking up opportunity, with an extra love for game (especially if it was a runner, or hard to pick…!). Isla is the foundation of my Mekoro bitch line, producing 2^nd and now 3^rd generation test and trial winners, award winners as well as some puppies successfully being trained for the Hearing Dogs and as Detection Dogs.

Isla is retired and lives with a loving family who also get to enjoy the Isla that I know, taking her out shooting and allowing her the freedom to be just as she is.
