Gundog News
The Welsh Springer Spaniel Club of South Wales
With the sun on their backs but with water under their feet, the Welsh Springer Spaniel Club of South Wales held its Spring Working Assessment on May 13th 2012 at land near Blackwood sponsored by CSJ.
Both Novice and Open tests benefited from running under experienced Worcester Gundog trainers Mr. Ron Andrews and Mr. Martin Kilminster. This was the first experience at test level for several of our Novices but the Open Test brought out some of our more experienced dogs and handlers which is shown by the number of COMs awarded where the generous quantity of CSJ Winners' Packs meant that hard work was rewarded.
Although the land had suffered from two weeks of nearly continuous rain, a warm Welsh welcome awaited all competitors with the sun shining throughout the event and with members of the WSSCSW committee providing an all-day barbecue.
CSJ's sponsorship turned the presentations into a special occasion and WSSCSW would like to thank CSJ for their generosity.
All dogs were Welsh Springer Spaniels (apart from *Clumbers).

Customers' Views
It all seemed too good to be true...
Dear Ceri,
We have a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel and a 1 Year old Chocolate Labrodor who had been brought up and fed on one of the "well" known premium ranges of food and we thought by using it we were helping them, however the spiralling cost of the brand caused us to look for something a little more affordable when we discovered CSJ on the internet.
It all seemed too good to be true - high quality for an affordable price with the backing of numerous breeders. Buying our first couple of sacks we decided to give it a go and see what happened.
Four sacks on and we are amazed at the difference and have only noticed the problems we had now we haven't got them. Our Cocker now looks and acts like she did when she was a puppy and her recent litter is thriving on Natural Little Champ!
Moreover the Labrador is just transformed: On the "beloved" old food she suffered from loose stools, flatulence that would clear a room in seconds, a scurfy coat and was so so hard to control. Since changing to CSJ Natural Champ she has normal stools, no flatulence a shiny coat and is just so relaxed (other than the usual puppy exuberance of course!) that so many people have commented on how well behaved she is "for a Chocolate". My wife was getting ready to try and re-home her but now she can stay.
Thanks so much...
Gavin Hall
