Lewis F Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi everyone, Seems like a silly question :unsure: but can a springer spaniel lined with Rytex and Badgercourt be used for trialling? My reason for this question it seems that a lot of the dogs that trial today are predominately Rytex which are speedy things so I've heard. My spaniel has a bit of Rytex here and there and quite a bit of Badgercourt she is built like a badger court spaniel and is very steady, and can work cover fast but probably not as fast as these Rytex spaniels would this effect how she would do in a trial if up a Rytex spaniel? sorry if it seems like a stupid question this is just out of curiosity as I am thinking of entering in a working test or field trial. regards lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would work the Ghobi Desert. Brilliant dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Without seeing the dog it's not possible to say whether it would be a successful trialling dog. Breeding alone doesn't do it "breed for the best, train for the rest". Those lines are excellent, but the dog is dependant on how diluted they have been by the quality of the sires and dams.

bone Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dont get hung up on what lines are in your dog, if it is up to the job then go for it. So many people get caught up with this rytex/badgercourt thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Many a good springer has badgercourt in its pedigree and many such as druid, warlord etc were FTCH and sired very good pups. You would be best off joining a local gundog club or seeking our a reputable trainer/trialer to evaluate you and your dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
