Fair Point.As mentioned before, I've got a spaniel trainer close to me, Plan is to try and spend some time with him.
I'll just be watching and learning.
whoes you're trainer mate
My dogs are in the house as pets Millie's works just as good as any dog on the shoot she's even won a couple of tests so I wouldn't worry about the kids having fun with the pup I even get the kids to help me with training
I personally think pups are to cheep if the price of pups was much higher then the rescues wouldn't be so full put it this way how often do you see french bulldogs in rescue centres
No chance a lab can't work cover as good as spaniels can I'm no saying the can't be used for rough shooting but they can't hunt like a spaniel. A well trained springer is in my opinion the best all rounder .
Same time a lab is the best for picking up or wildfowling no saying a spaniel can't
Hi lads and lassies I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now but never posted.
I've got an ess and a new pup coming soon.
I love training my dog and shooting over her I only started two years ago so I'm very novice .
So if I make mistakes or say something daft remember I'm just learning.
Thanks all peter
