..a little bit about us

Craigscourt Gundogs consists of husband & wife team, Craig & Courtney Killpack who have been training and competing with Spaniels for over 20 years.

 

In that time, we have made up 7 Field Trial award winners, 4 Field Trial winners and 1 Open Field Trial winner. Not to mention 2 Open Working Test winners with 1 dog receiving 4th in the esteemed Kennel Club Open Spaniel Working Test.

 

Most recently Craig has qualified for the 2023 Springer Spaniel Championships with Shiveck Soverign of Craigscourt.

 

But more importantly, our dogs are the most important thing in our life.
