Author Gillian Averis is a practising veterinary surgeon who has been involved with gundogs all her life, training Weimaraners as well as keeping Sussex Spaniels, German Shorthaired Pointers, Hungarian Vizslas, an Italian Spinone and a Labrador Retriever.

There is an in-depth analysis of the dietary needs of working gundogs and a special section dealing with the inherited conditions that affect some of the gundog breeds.

Especially designed for the pitch to travel a really great distance, far greater than most gun dog whistles.

Quality metal Shepherd's whistle, used for century's by Shepherd's across the U.K. Far more hygienic and easier to use than the cheaper plastic copies on the market. Its uniqueness arises from the ability to give a whole range of pitch and whistle to guide your working or gun dog in their passion. An amazing vocabulary of commands can be mastered by this whistle meaning it's possible to work two dogs at once.

The other unique fact of this whistle is that it allows both hands to be free at all times, allowing you to work unhindered.

TPS TOP TIP: How to use Shepherds Whistle

1. Place whistle in mouth with the curved open edge facing outwards.

2. Hold in the mouth in such a way as to create a gap underneath the whistle. The back of the whistle will sit on the back of the tongue.

3. Blow and by varying the blow, you will create different sounds.

4. To create an even wider range of sounds, move the tongue up and down reducing and widening the gap underneath the whistle.

N.B. if you place your tongue against the lower hole you will silence the whistle. It doesn't matter which way up the whistle is placed.

This whistle does require a few practice blows before you get a sound, but once one sound is achieved, it is plain sailing or whistling.

Also useful for playing "guess what the object is", at family gatherings :)
