ive worked him all season for my mate who bred him but he just needs tidying up and to be a bit more steady. Hes still quite puppy like but is a great worker!
hes only with me a few days but is settling in already. does anyone know where the best place is to find info about dogs in his lines? -
Just got my new dog called thorn and is 19 months old. So i thought i would share a few pics.

im going to be doing some air gunning and out after the pigeons in the next number of weeks as the local farms are being tortured with pests. i need to buy a camo suit and was wondering which to get? i dont want to spend a fortune but i need it to be waterproof.
-
just out of interest where abouts in NI are you?
-
i read somewhere that it is better to use wild rabbits as they give a better flush reaction for the dogs. I think i read it in one of the training spaniel books.

does anyone know of any good dvds solely based on training cockers?
-
there is an undocked springer on our shoot and every week, even just in the lightest of cover, the tail gets ripped open and the dog gets covered in blood.

appologies for hijacking the post but my mother and our 2 cockers were attacked by a lab an hour ago. it wasnt an aggressive attack but hurt the dogs and my mother. it jumped up and mouthed all round her chest and face and shes just a tiny wee thing. it even managed to push her infront of traffic...all the owner said was we are only back from work and she doesnt normally do this!

Are you looking to breed soon? I may be interested in a pup if you are.

Was out beating yesterday and a friend had his 3 yr old GSP bitch with us. She is a great hunter but in between drives she has started to whine excessively. HE has tried everything to get her to stop so does anyone have suggestions of what to do?

I had a really good day - was extremely tiring as the forest was still very over grown as there has been no frost.
I took out my mates year old springer and he got on very well. i kept him on the lead most of the day and he proved to be quite head strong, but eventually he accepted i was boss and did what was asked of him. The next shoot is this Sat so will be taking him out again. I havent been looking too hard for a dog yet but this year old is tempting me!
but we will wait and see! -
the owner is close friends with the head keeper and it has all been ok'd. it will be kept on a lead at all times and the owner will be there with me. he is working his older dog and wants the younger one walked on the lead for the experience.
-
ive got 2 non working cockers but no shooting dog. taking a mates young springer down for the experience. but im after a spaniel of my own to work.
-
i start there this saturday so hopefully the weather will hold out!
-
whats the actual estate like?
-
Has anyone ever shot/beaten at Rodemon in Crossgar, Co. Down, N.I? I start beating down there on 18th Oct. and just wanted to know a bit more about it.

no hes a springer! the springers here in NI tend to be smaller than those across the water...he isnt much taller than our 2 cockers which are a show/working mix. will have to take some pics as a comparison. personally i prefer a smaller springer... what about everyone else?
