Clark Reid grew up with a passion for gundogs and hunting on New Zealand’s North Island. All outdoor sports occupied Clark. He is well known as one of NZ’s leading fly-fishing guides and flytiers. Recently, in association with Poronui, he added "Pheasant Guide" to his list of occupations. Over the years, Clark has run Labradors, GSP’s, and now spaniels. He declares that he will now run nothing else… he’s a spaniel fanatic. He is currently bringing on a young ESS, who, at 18months of age, is occupying all of his time in getting ready for field trials. Clark plans on adding two more to his kennels in the ensuing twelve months. Page 5 | Spaniel Journal | Previous Page | First Page |
