Interview with Sir Ian Botham

A wire haired Jack Russell terrier

What dog do you have?

My companion is my Jack Russell, 
Pinot, named after the wine. He goes everywhere with me when I’m shooting. 
He also retrieves, and when I go fishing he dives into the net when I try and land a sea trout; he’s part and parcel of the package.

Is there a particularly memorable shooting day?

I really can’t say that one day in particular stands out. One of the great things for me about shooting is that I’m either shooting with friends who I shoot with regularly or I’m meeting new people. Both appeal to me and I very much enjoy that aspect of each day.
