He looks stunning. What’s his breeding?

Thanks mate 👍

Lovely looking big lad

Folks Ive been searching for an old styled springer for years now but haven’t come across any. im looking for a pup for next year from the larger style of dogs that can work day on day out and are the size of modern labradors. does such a springer even exist anymore? Can anyone recommend a breeder? thanks

Stunner 👌

My spaniel has the same issue.. He gets Previcox daily. Acupuncture/laser treatment when required and a course of cartrofen injections every 6 months.

I know this topic will have been covered a million times before so apologies for boring everyone! My lab is 4 years old and has chewed up every bed he has ever ha in his kennel. He now sleeps on a rubber cow mat which I feel isn't ideal... Not much comfort in it and smells which in turn has the dog stinking. I have tried wood shavings for an equine suppliers but found that to be more wood chips which irritated the dogs skin. Any suggestions as to what the dog can sleep non which:- A. Can't be chewed. B. won't stink. C. Is warm with a degree if comfort. Cheers

All the best for it.

Ollie My springer had that op combined with a knee stabilisation recently. He had 12 weeks of cage rest and limited exercise. He is now back out and nearly fighting fit. I you drop me a pm if be happy to chat with you about it.

Does anyone know where to get dog sleeping benches in ireland? Most suppliers i have seen are based in the mainland!

Thought it would have been about that age. Cheers

Thanks for the comment. What sort of age would they be?

I have been offered a Webley patriot complete with scope at what seems to be a sensible price. Can anyone give me some more info on the gun? What are they like to use etc?

The book looks a great read! Can't wait to get it! His dogs seem great and he has great confidence in every aspect of them. Very impressed with Roy. Great pics al4x!

Paul I've had a chat with Roy at gonegos and he is a really top bloke! Very impressed with what he has had to say about the breed.... I've ordered his book aswell! Harry yes I have heard about the variation in the coat. It would be a concern of mine but hopefully it wouldn't be a problem!

They seem few and far between over here! Would be great to see some working though!

Thanks for that al4x your comments are appreciated!

Thanks for the replies folks! Can you recommend any kennels/lines to look into?

Having spent a lifetime working with labs/spaniels I'm considering a change. My shooting consists of wild fowling, pigeons and general rough shooting. I'm considering either a gwp or a wire haired vizla. The question is why would you choose and why??
