  1. He’s just fulfilling the dog prey sequence (as far as he’s concerned) stalk > chase>catch>kill bite>dissect>eat In many dogs this is engrained into their character regardless of breed - well actually, it’s this trait that works in our favour in most dogs, it just requires honing! In order to break / interrupt this sequence you need to make whatever you’re doing as a result of him fetching it back to you more exciting then his self gratification in carrying out the behaviour. If you see what I mean. What do you do if / when he brings a retrieve back out of interest? It’s also worth mentioning that dogs don’t generalise well - when you change the picture for them ie from the garden to a shooting scenario he may genuinely not understand what’s expected of him PLUS as others have already said, it’s Uber exciting and he’ll be on the edge anyway 😂
  2. Try Andy Platt if you’re on FB - he has a FTCH cocker stud dog and may be able to point you towards litters due or on the ground sired by him and other good dogs 👍
  3. Agree with all above but something worth considering - a friend of mine had a lab pup like this and it turned out that despite his parents’ brilliant hip scores he didn’t take after them and his hips were diabolical 🤔
  4. He’s got big shoes to fill, looks like he’s nearly done it!! ❤️❤️
  5. He obviously has a high prey drive. I guess garden birds appear suddenly and then seem to dart about, pure kyptonite for a sight hound with high prey drive!
  6. So sorry, he looks like he had the best life with you!
  7. Hi, he’s found his new home subject to meet and collection. Thank you!
  8. Oooh a friend of mine has these, one of her chaps has won loads showing AND trialling, just shows how versatile they are! Beautiful pups!
  9. He definitely is, I’ve found him on MyKC. I’ve chased the breeder many times but have since given up.
  10. A chap that we whelped the mum for 👍
