Danielm7353 3 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hello my friends springer bitch had a litter of pups. the dog was a lab and the bitch was a springer. just wondering what way would this cross work he offered me a pup so i am half tempted. i just want the dog for hunting mainly hares to rise them and maybe to flush a few foxes. so if i could id like to try to get the pup quartering and barking in cover. i have only dealt with lurches and greyhounds so i am not quite sure how difficult this could be all help welcome.

Sammy666 49 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 If to flush game for lurchers should be deadon if trained the right way and this cross should be easier to train and controll than terrier or hound crosses but dont think they will bark on sent tho but never no. 1 Quote Link to post

Truther 1,579 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 A mate had an accidental litter a few years back, both lab and spaniel side were decent working lines, he kept a dog pup for a good while, but couldn't give it enough work to keep it happy, he gave it to the right lad and its doing well from what i hear, nice strong athletic thing Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have seen them, some good, some bad, it depends what side they take. I saw one that looked like a mini lab that had the spaniel attitude and another that didn't want to enter cover, but both were easy trained and retrieved. I thought I might get one, thinking accidental mating easy done in kennels, less than £150 perhaps, put my feelers out and found out that a "springador" is a fashonable bloody breed £300+ FFS Quote Link to post
