  4. if you'r worried about training a spanial then don't get a pointer get a lab or mebe a chessiepac bay retriever( can,t spell it) but they are very hardy and fantastic swimmers and large enough to retrieve any goose .they look like a very big lab with tight curly coat .bred in canada . Sorry Hily Chesapeake Bay Retrievers look nothing like a lab , some are not that big, our bitch is compact with curly coat and our dog is slightly taller with a wavy coat, They are an american breed and not for the novice to train only seen one at work and he was a big animal but i stand corrected

  14. up to the shoot on sat took poults to wood sorted water,feed fence etc. so had time to hunt the dogs HOT DAY so hunted spanials in a boggy area of the shoot (some of the lads of here have shot their and will know it holds plenty of bunnys )so because it's wet this helped to keep the dogs cool. Only out for 11/2 hours had some good shooting and some testing retrieves as the area is criss crossed with streams a couple of the rabbits when shot tumbled into the the stream and the dogs had to get into the water to find them. anyway we shot 16 bunnys and all where wasted as they where fly blown by
