To be honest with you mate I would try to avoid a pup like that! Although it is probally possible to train a pup like that you'd be so much better off with a worker, What if it doesnt go the way you want it to, and then you end up with a dog the family are all attached to, either you'll have to get rid of it to get one that will work as you want or end up with 2 dogs. Just save up for a bit longer and get the right dog for the job

It not bad to get stuck in aswell as theres nothing better than shooting over a dog you have trained yourself to work for you

Took my 1 year old lab bitch down for the first time, She did pick up scent here n there but wasnt very enthusoastic to follow any trials really and was more as if I was taking her for a walk as she kept moving out ahead of me rather than hunt the ground At one point I piterally saw a rabbit in this thorne bush I could have leaned into and prodded with the shotgun barrel, I didnt shoot it as it was a bit unsporting (would have been like shooting a fish in a barrel) I did try to get th

applying for a shotgun licence is easy mate and not much trouble, If thats what you want to do then stick an application in! If you just want to work the dog thats no trouble either!
