Teach your dog to know where you are at all times, it has to follow you & that it has to ignore everything else bar you. Step one is to stop taking it for walks & to take it out training.

Personally I think it should be done by a vet taking a blood sample. I also think that if you're going to test it's far more honest to do it before you sell the pups.

If you want a draw system http://www.cabtransitboxes.co.uk/make them, not cheap though, a full set out of draws, dog box & side cupboards is £2500. He will make you whatever you want though.

http://www.reiversportinggame.co.uk/#!hospitality-and-pricing/c1upp I think that your expectation of the numbers of game shoot on a day like this is high, I think you'd be more likely to achieve 50 head & even then I think you'll need spaniels in the line. I also think that you'd need to have 4 guns paying + 10 handlers. A mixed spaniel / retriever day might be the way to go. I've shot / worked a dog on several of these types of days, they've been very hit or miss, particularly if the keeper doesn't totally grasp what you need. I think the words 'novice dogs' quite often scares the **** out of them & they don't take you to ground where there's a lot of game. I shot on a spaniel day once & we ran all the dogs for one flush, that was a hare that we weren't allowed to shoot, not at all what you need for young dogs.

What the original poster has described isn't spinning.

This red type stuff is high maintenance, nearest one asleep is FTCH ex FTCH, next to her is my pup FTCH ex FTW. During the third drive of the day getting chewed to bits by bloody midges.

I've got a 13 plate diesel, it's averaged just under 44mpg over 20k miles, it gets a lot of short runs & I don't tend to hang about. It would get much better mpg if driven steadily, 50 + not out of the question. I've had no issues with it other than a bit tinny & the stereo isn't that good. Much nicer to drive than the CRV I had on lease a few years ago. I picked up all last season with it & didn't get stuck.

If you have concerns the normal answer is buyer beware, if in doubt walk away as there some sharks out there. Any breeder though should be totally willing to show you there own dogs paperwork. If the dog is KC registered they will have a ownership registration certificate from the Kennel Club. They should also have a registration certificate for the litter, their will be paperwork for each pup in the litter with this document. If the breeder has an affix (eg Drakeshead, Mallowdale etc etc) they should have a KC certificate for this as well. I can't see any honest person not willing to put you in touch with the owner of the sire. The owner of the sire will have the same paperwork for their dog & should also have notification from the Kennel Club confirming that the dog has sired a litter. Not everybody that breeds buys pedigree certificates from the KC, many print their own. You can check that a pedigree is correct by logging on to myKC. You can also check some but not all health test results on myKC.

If you get black pups & both parents are yellow, summat else has been poking the fire. In this case a dog that is very likely to be dominant black is the sire of the pups & the only colour they could be was black.

Totally agree.

yes & regardless of what colour the pups are, I hope all goes well for the bitch & pups.

Colour is to with a dogs genes, if the dog is dominant black, you'll only ever get black pups. To date he's had litters to three yellow bitches (No such thing as a red Labrador) & they've only thrown black pups. It's exactly the same if the bitch is dominant black, if you line her with a yellow dog the pups will be all black.

I'd be surprised if the sire isn't dominant black, his own sire is.

There was a picture on Facebook of a dog with one of those type clamps stuck in it's gob, god knows how it had done it.

I suspect that your dog doesn't understand a blind, all it's doing is memories & once you move the game to new ground & actually give it a blind, it's clueless. I've got one the same. Have you tried doing similar style drills with an assistant? Have a dummy thrown, retrieve it, then have a dummy dropped in the same place & send the dog back. Start on easy ones & then increase difficulty. You also then move this up a level by introducing shot, so hopefully when it hears a shot, you do the line up drill & it should go. I suspect it'll take a lot of patience & a great deal of effort. I'd be using tracks a lot to help it understand to go straight. You'll need to ****** about a lot as one thing you must do is not allow the dog to fail as it'll fold up & then you'll have to go back to basics again.

If you wanted to breed KC registered pups you should have bought a KC registered bitch. To attempt to register an unregistered bitch is a waste of both time & money.

How long's a piece of string?

I do the similar but always cable tie them on. You make 2 tennis ball dummies out of one skin this way, ball / tie / tie / ball / tie then cut into 2 once dried. I only make dummies in winter when the rabbits are bigger & have thicker skins.

Must be flush How's the bitch bred?

I was actually wondering what Cocker Boy had to think about what would appear to be a puppy advertisement. $$$$ Sire has a very good pedigree, his bitch line is excellent. Information on the bitch is too vague to enable a comment.

http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/314209-peggy-is-expecting/ So what do you make of this then? :hmm:

There was a big kick off on a facebook group a couple of weeks ago about a litter advertised. They were wanting £700 a pup, the bitch had no health tests & the dog, although fully tested has thrown pups with elbow scores, some seriously high hip scores. Neither parents had ever worked. The dog is consistently advertised on the free pet sites as a stud, he's had more bitches than most FTCH dogs currently at stud. Actually finding a dark yellow pup that meets all the health test requirements & that has a decent pedigree is a very difficult purchase to find.
