Honouring the handlers, dogs and days that have shaped the spaniel world. These films capture candid conversations with the people and dogs who have defined our sport – not just the trophies, but the graft, judgement calls and learning along the way.
We look beyond the headlines to early influences, cornerstone dogs, turning-point runs and the quiet craft behind consistent performance.
Each episode protects our heritage while offering practical lessons you can take straight into the field: steadying on game, honest hunting, responsive handling and fair, welfare-first training.

Dave Lisett
Part oral history, part masterclass. Dave traces the dogs and decisions behind sustained success: how he builds drive without losing control, steadies on real game, and cultivates consistency day after day. Practical, candid, immediately usable in your own training and trial work with some added humour around when things don’t always go to plan.

Future episodes
A new Hall of Fame episodes will be landing featuring more candid, craft-first conversation blending oral history with usable lessons: breeding decisions that lasted, days that taught, and the standards that keep spaniels honest.
We’re finalising the guest list now. Help shape it: nominate a guest and include the dog or day that proves their impact, plus one lesson others can take into the field.
