DAVID LISETT
Kennel Manager
David joined Buccleuch Gundogs as handler/trainer/breeder on 12 January 2004, arriving with his wife Liz and young son Scott. Before joining the Buccleuch Kennel, he studied building technology, carpentry and joinery at Ayr College and trained gundogs in his spare time. His interest in gundog training began while working on his uncle's farm as a young boy, where he gained experience by working with Collies.
He began training Labradors and English Springer Spaniels in 1991 while participating in a number of shooting syndicates. He entered his first field trial in 1998 and has gone from strength to strength having a combination of successes throughout his career, including winning both the Irish and British Spaniel Championships.
David has been a member of the Scottish National Gundog Team since 2001 and is thrilled to be Kennel Manager at the bespoke Buccleuch Kennel at Chapel which opened after major refurbishment in 2006.
