Why would you want to? because i would love to see a breed doing what it was bred to do, and not just prance round a ring for a rosette The breed origianted in Canada and was used as a working dog for a variety of tasks, bringing in fishing nets, pulling carts holding wood, food and later to deliver mail. The double coat was needed to protect them from the harsh water coldness, I've no doubt that they would make fantastic working dogs for a variety of tasks, as a gundog i'm unsure they would have the drive and determination to excel, or the athletesism and stamina to go th

dose she let go easly or is the game full of punctures.... either way thats a tallented bull!
-
as she comes to you move back wards, making your self as appealing/fun as possible as mushroom said she'll follow... if she gets quite close, move back a little more (again making yourself look fun) and when she gets really close make a big fuss of her... worked for my springer (but he ran round you and then went away)

i want to know if you guys think a newfoundland could be trained to be a shooitng companion (i haven't got one .... yet!) but the idea was ticking away in my head that they could be, because they are retrivers... so presumibly you could channel centurys of fetching people into fetching shot game? add your opinions, Rob

WOW! those are some mucky (happy) assed springers! you know theyv'e had fun when they're caked in mud and soked

i can't say iv'e ever had any stick about shooting, but one of my mates did a whole scene pretending to be benjamin bunnys dad who was lookin for benjamin with the voices and everything, which was funny as sh!t (it was a joke not teasing) all i can say about that is that if they eat meat and cant catch/prepear it them selves then your the bigger lad! one lass im friends with thought beef came from sheep! dumbass, i know

he must be crossed with some kind of tiger!?!

a rabbit with my BSA lightning when i was 14-ish i got four on my first night out -
No mate, that's the fun of eating them. This kind of blistery feeling of the tongue is a but like a very ho curry. Yes they stop stinging. ATB Michael haha, i actually belived you
-
do they stop stinging after you boil them?
-
quite agree... it was probly going to end that way what ever was sugested... or a sprocker at the least? is that your springer?

thanks , did you find your alright to train? Yes and no to be honest.He hunted,quartered,pointed and retrieved naturally.He was very easy to train in those areas.BUT i could not steady him on hares.He coursed the first one he saw,at about 6 months old,and never forgot it.I tried every way in the book to stop him,and i mean every way,but he was still chasing them a few days before he was pts at about 11 year old. i think i may get one... we'll have to wait and see
-
thanks , i was under the impression that they were for advanced traniers only... i think i know what the coming seasons beating money is going towards ... or a gordon setter? probly not a great idea

I wouldn't recommend an HPR to train as a first dog unless you have a lot of ground to train it on, and have someone that you can get advice from. Labs and spaniels would be a better bet in my opinion. Ian cherrs, i will probly stick to spaniels and labs, although at some point (long way off) i want to own a GWP im surounder by farm land that the framer lets go, do whatever i want (within reason) actually Wilson Young lives just up the road from me, i wrote a letter to him asking about how HPR's work but he never wrote back
-
...also, is there a ''starter'' HPR breed?
