Guest WILF Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) I have an old copy of a book here called "Gundogs: Training and field trials" by P.R.A.Moxon Just wondered if anyone had read this book and how relevant it is for now? By the way, its for my lurcher.........so if anyone knows of any better books that would be more relevant to a lurchers character then please let me know. I am not looking for any basic training books, just gundog and advanced type stuff Nothing that involves any kind of force training please Cheers in advance WILF Edited November 3, 2008 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pointer28 1 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Have it and its a good book, and I can't see how Gundog training has changed that much since it was written. I don't know how relevant it would be to training a lurcher though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thurso jack 3 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 if you ignore the obvious bullshite in plummers books some of his ethics are really not far off the mark for basic training etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tote 870 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've never read the Moxon book Wilf so can't comment. I have read "Training Spaniels" and "Gundogs Their Learning Chain" both by Joe Irving and would recommend them for anyone with an interest in dog training be it gundogs,lurchers or whatever.
