We're Ryan and Alison Kay, owners of Farlavale Gundogs in York.

We have many years experience of breeding, working and competing gundogs, predominantly spaniels. We offer group and 1:1 training here at our training centre and work with hundreds of spaniels each year.

Ryan is a Gundog Correspondent for both Sporting Gun and Shooting Times magazines.

Ryan is also a Kennel Club A Panel Field Trial judge for Spaniels and a Kennel Club Accredited Instructor in Working Gundogs (one of just 8 in the country).
