RubyTex 1,957 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hello everyone, stumbled across this forum on the internet so thought i'd join in. I'm from the North of England and i've been into clays and rough shooting for a good few years now. I'm also partial to getting the air rifle out every now and then and going after the local rat population. The most important aspect of our sport to me is the working of dogs. It was decided five years ago that we should get ourselves a gundog, and after deliberation between Labradors, Springers, Cockers and Pointers we settled on Springer Spaniels, and bought Tex. Tex is brilliant, showed potential when he was younger and is as obedient as they come. Unfortunately he hasn't turned into the hunting dog we hoped, but that doesn't detract from his value as a much loved family pet. We put Tex to stud last year and came away with Ruby to see if we would have more luck with her. She is showing much more potential than Tex ever did, and uses her nose much better than he does. I've been teaching her the basic commands as she's only just reaching ten months old, and she spotted and retrieved a pigeon at the weekend to much praise from us in the hide! That said, i'm always on the look out for another bitch be it puppy or adult. I love to see and be a part of their development and can offer the time, patience and exercise that's needed. Looking forward to getting stuck in! Frazer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
