Gundog Handlers
Bill Leonard
Bill started trialling in 1995 when, as he says, “The dog work started taking over from the shooting”.
He is a member of the Scotland Gundog Team (sponsored by CSJ Specialist Canine Feeds) at the CLA Game Fair 2007.
The affix ‘Clanicker’ is made up from the first three letters of Bill’s daughters’ names – CLAire, NICola and KERry.
The kennel currently stands at eight Springer Spaniels and one Labrador.
Most memorable success?
Bill says, “It will always be making up my first Field Trial Champion – F.T.Ch Broomfield Pleat.”
Other successes have been making up two Champions and winning several novice and open trials. He has also competed in the British Championship six times, the Irish Championship once and gained a few awards along the way.
“I think CSJ offers tremendous quality along with outstanding value for money, and without ‘Rocket Fuel’ my FTCh Clarburgh Golden Girl would simply be Clarburgh Golden Girl!!!”

Fab Champ!
Dear CSJ team
At the ripe old ages of 11 (ish) and 13 (ish) switching to a new food was no trouble with regards to introducing it slowly (too slowly as far they are concerned!) and Dem Bones are a wonderful incentive for them to not "forget” their recall and training – or even just remind them what good dogs they are really!
Incidentally after today's delivery – my third – the driver asked me about the food and will be telling his daughter all about it for her staffy!
My response was - I now buy a better food at a cheaper price and more conveniently than if I popped down to PaH to buy Chappie/Bonkers/Pedigree!!
Thank you for a good food at an excellent price and brilliant delivery service.
Jo (and speshall springer snuffles from Sam & Millie)
