if you have children lay down the law, they are not to tease it or rag it, socialise with yes, training starts from day one, only really simple stuff like choosing your whistle at feeding times, also a good idea is to sit down with the children and the missus or girlfriend and writing out the words of command you will use and post it on the fridge door, so everybody uses the same command.....dont over exersise the dog when young, let it grow and develope its bones and put on substance...you only get out what you put in ! dont give it any chewy toys, and make training fun, you only need to train 10 mins every day...the boys have posted good advice....my book that i used on my first gundog and eversince was P.R.A. Moxon...it is still in print.
always remember every dog is different, if you have trouble getting the dog to do something, dont get tough with it try a different approach......training a dog is a 2 way thing you both learn !
good luck and enjoy yourselves

excactly the same with me, in the areas me and my mate shoot we have the flapper a floater and a few deeks which always work, there are several boys who pigeon shoot in this area and i have only ever seen one rotary used........been shooting this area now for 30years...i have given up wondering why

Yup, 'fraid that's the tried and true solution. In N. America, they actually sell lanyards that have a Chapstick holder so that one doesn't wear out one's lips from continuously having the whistle planted between them.

With my sprokers when they were young, they had all manner of problems when young and still had up to 18mths-2yrs particuly limping, most things will dissapear and indeed will grow out of them.....you have him listened to in a year and you may well be pleasantly surprised, dont forget the dog is only 8 weeks old everything is still developing.........one word of advice DONT train the dog on short grass it will get board very quickly and start to range out to far and revert to type, dont forget that these dogs were used to spring game for the lord of the manor when hawking, start it on the whistle now at feeding time...........

Had an invasion in the sitting room.....found where they lived ........Richard Dyson...3 times ..hey presto !

Hi ditchamn
I tend to sow/grow F1 hybrid all female variety. Sometimes ( very rarely ) they produce male flowers if the greenhouse becomes too hot , these need to be removed asap. This normally happens when the greenhouse becomes far too hot and the palnts become stressed ! Ventilation sorts this out.
Traditional type of Cucumbers. I used to remove all male flowers to prevent pollination of the female flowers sostopping bitter tasting cucumbers.
Outdoor varieties , which ive grown either in a cool greenhouse or more so in a sheltered and sunny location. Outdoor types need the male flowers on the plant as the female flowers require pollination.
My biggest problem has always been Mildew on the leaves with the damp summers
Thanks for that, the conservertory hasnt been hot and steamy this year so far.....all the flowers so far ( 6 of them ) are male, so i have nipped them off, loads of buds on them so will have to wait if the female ones appear...watch this space
regards

I've got courgettes growing in a tub outside New Seagrave Towers, and so far this year I've had about a dozen flowers. All of which have been male.
I would love to have something to pollinate, but I suppose I will just have to be patient...
I'm with Malk on this one - leave the conservatory doors open and let the insects do their thing.
LS
the reason i posted this is that i have been told that if you grow inside cucumbers (they are a diff' strain) you must pick the male flowers off as they will taste bitter...........now when you grow outside cuc's you let mun nature do her stuff..............how the heck can i tell if they are inside or outsde cuc's ....look at "the completegarderners, web blog " site....... and yes i threw the bloody packet away ( they came from an african country) so i will prob' get locked up now !!! :blink:

Im growing cucumbers in my conservertory i dont know if they are an indoor or outdoor variety, i have been told if it is an indoor type i must pinch the male flowers out to stop the cucumbers tasting bitter, if it is an outdoor type i must polinate what do i do ?

It wont be long before someone twigs on and starts producing new engines to the 'old' spec as to accept bio fuels. Failing that you could always trasnplant an older engine or just buy an older car? Its deffinately the future, esspecially for anyone that wont be driving round the city all day in hybrids.
Be very wary of putting bio-desiel in older cars the seals and diaphrams that come into contact with it perish and go gloopy....my mate is a boiler engineer and more and more he is getting called out for leaking pumps and perishished "o" rings etc....nothing wrong with biofuels except the seal technology needs to catch up...........
