This is Ragnar, he is a working cocker spaniel and this blog follows his adventures and training as he grows up. I would ultimately like to see if we can Field Trial with Ragnar but only time will tell if we achieve this. This blog will help me keep track of his training and also the fun things he gets up to as he grows. I doubt this will be updated every day as things will become more hectic now I have two of them to train but I will keep you all informed of his progress.
