Alessandro Gatti - Italian Sparviter and Austringer with 2023 Parent reared male Chesterfield
Chesterfield is from:
Dad: 3/4 Albidus King Henry
Mum: Queen Charlotte (50:50 Murmansk's daughter)
Thank you my dear friend Viktor for this fantastic male
What I can say about Chesterfield. It has been a little bit tricky at the very beginning in August caused by the hot weather, the difficult weight management and the manning session in a short time. But here I see your passion and your hard work in the selection of the best goshawks that many Austringers would love to fly and hunt with. He learned fast, and being clever I had no difficult to enter him to fur (cottontails) and feather. The way he was raised made him very easy to train and what is even more important he accepted dogs very easy what is the most important thing for good falconry.
Now Chesterfield is getting better slip after slip with long chase without hesitation.. His aggression is always at top level, even when he is not in spot on condition (top hunting weight till now is 750 grams and increased to 785 grams with tendency to go up) and he does chase hard until the end which means another quarry in the bag.
Also his fist recall was perfect and I never used the lure to call him.
He would come immediately to the fist from any distance at first whistle, and in high cover after a missed slip he comes back to the fist like a boomerang!
So, thank you again for him Viktor!
Giorgo Battilina - Italian Austringer with 2023 season bred Parent reared male Theodone
Theodone is from:
Dad: 3/4 Albidus King Henry
Mum: Queen Charlotte (50:50 Murmansk's daughter)
Since the beginning of manning wasn't hard, he
started to eat on the glove on the second day with me. He is a fast learner and
he never showed fear towards noise, people and other distrbance. Because of
this, it was very easy to introduce him to my hunting dog. I preferred a longer
manning to establish a strong mutual trust, then we started to hunt. Frome the
first day of hunting he showed an explosive instinct for catching the prey.
From the first game bird, he showed a hunting technique like he hunted
pheasants, quails and grey/red partridges thousands of times. Also, he learned
very fast to hunt with the dog and watch every single movement of my bracco italiano.
Theodone showed natural born persistants and hunting abilities for all kinds of game.

Hari Herak - is 27 times World champion with pointing dogs and St. Hubert. He's been hunting with all typs of falconry birds also including Eagle Owl on hares and sea gulls and now is hunting foxes and roe deer with two Golden Eagle females and one Golden Eagle male. His words means a lot to us.....
"I've been flying and hunting 3/4Rus/FinXGerman imprint female Carla and now I am just huting with 2018 bred Buteoides imprint female Angie. Both these goshawks are ultimate hunters with strong hunting character but very easy to handle. Very agressive on fur and feather game. I will never forget first flight on hare with Carla who was doing it like an old experience hawk. Angie is very similar but having even stronger feet who are easily holding hares, pheasants and big sea gulls since I used her also for a pest control. I will highly recomended Goshawk's Farm goshawks to anyone who wants to have proper hunting goshawk."

Jäger - 3/4 rus/finXgerman imprint male goshawk
"Jäger is Goshawk's Farm bred tiercel. Perfect in character but very energetic and extremely good hunter. Having a superb morphology, with good pair of feet and good proportions, he is a hawk who always takes someones attention on the field meets. Once when he achieved proper physical condition, I witnessed the longest flight which you can imagine. Beside that, he is very easy to handle and train, accepting surrounding very well and is afraid of absolutely nothing. In the end, from my experinece with goshawks, Jäger is definitely the best goshawk I have ever owned and would not change it for anything in the world!"
Diego Biggaton - professional falconer from Italy
Elizabeth is 3/4 rus/finXgerman 2018 Goshawk's Farm bred imprint female. In my opinion she is a first-class goshawk. With a great character and ideal mindset for hunting, great energy and determination in the flight, once when she has reached optimal physical condition the flights were very long and strong with constat wing beats. Elizabeth large morphology with a good pair of feet and good proportions is making her suitable for large prey. She is always very focused in the field and ready to go in hot pursuit. Her training was going very quick and simple. Also she is having a good character and she isn't afraid of anything what makes her going very easy and gave me opportunity to hunt with her after short trainig process. She finshed her first season with 20 pheasants, 2 ducks and 2 hares. I think Elizabeth is the best goshawk I've ever had.
P.S. During the hunting season Elizabeth also went in real pursuit of a roe deer!
