    False Spring

    sparrows checking out bird boxes picked up a tiny toad just out of the tadpole state and a few brusell sprout plants gone to seed this week well that's it global warming is official
  2. IT'S GOOD YOU'V DONE RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GET THE DOG as we see to many folk asking vital questions on training after they get the dog TO LATE in most cases .If it's a springer you want then get one cos you'v got to like the dog to make bonding with it easy and natural' Kids rules no chasing no ball/stick or owt else thrown for pup and no snatching anything from its mouth tug of war is a no no and remind the kids the pup has sharp teeth.atb and good luck
  3. plenty of birds about and all in the right place sods law first shoot day NEXT week

  4. One little lad left coming up to 12 wks so due next jab and this will be added to the price of the pup thanks .this little lad will be ready for some serious training after the shooting season,
  5. working mans price = 300-500 plus vetted by seller this shows a commitment to the dog and if you can't afford this how will you be able to pay for its upkeep .
  6. TRY and keep a spaniel pup still for a pic resorted to locking them out and getting a few through the door glass
  7. Go look at prices for mongrels that are in fashion labraflippingdoodles and the like see how much westies go for the price may be a bit strong for some people but there is no doubt people will pay for what they want and as I say raising a litter is not all profit but you'd think it was a crime to make money out of the time and effort in doing it.As the man says these are top bred muts from the world of gun dogs and to rear them at home takes a canny bit of work.
  8. I'am a spaniel man myself but that dog looks a cracker good luck with the rest of the training
  9. Its not all profit and can be hard work if you break it down to the hours you have to put in to raise a litter plus all the fees involved assuming stud, docking, jabs, kc reg, worming etc etc are all in with the price .forgot to add the cost of puppy food and then you pay for the pups to be chipped.
  10. Don't know if this can be made out
  11. I use the defender to travel to my permission 120 mls round trip not a problem unless your in a hurry and yes they are agricultural and don't come near to the comfort you find in jap stuff they do get stuck but mostly due to driver error aaaah but what motor doesn't . I have noticed on the shoots I go to that the landy's get more stick and are expected to do much of the rough terrain work as the jap owners are often very careful about knocking any of the plastic bits off on the gate posts .Now consider this I used to own a garage and I always liked to have a 4x4 as one of the garage vehicl
  12. AAH SAY ITS TOO GOOD TO GO AS A PET THAT'S WHY ITS ON A HUNTING SITE

  14. to good to go as a pet £300 .PM for info
  15. My slant on this problem as a spaniel is an optimist when the dog gives me a retrieve to hand I often hand it back with plenty of praise making it more like play than training and I think this builds a bit of trust and as others say go back to basics and maybe you could add this to your training .
  16. what do you mean by won't give you it does the dog not come in to you or will it not let go and does this happen with dummies as well.
  17. well that was a canny day the rain kept away had a good long walk tired the dogs out everyone fired a shot or three and we ended up with 4 brace and a redleg
  18. ya can't beat springers smashing looking dog
  19. clamp down on tax evasion easy to bully joe public as he is on his own fighting the tax man, but try and get the correct tax out of a large company and then the tax collector does deals with the company's legal team to pay less tax than they should so has basc ngo or nobs or the like come up with any advice from the legal team's that they employ which are paid for by the joe public members of these or organisations I only ask this as I don't know.This in itself is a failure by these organisations .I think some of the larger shoots who are owned by company's or have rich owners are hap
